Every farmer to-day is concerned with the production of food for human consumption and for the maintenance of his livestock. A large number have arable land to work for the first time in their career and the crops that must be grown and the management of the land presents many new and difficult problems.
In the last twenty years farming methods have changed considerably and research has added much to our knowledge of soils and the cultivation of crops. New varieties have been introduced and new machinery is available.
There has arisen, therefore, a great need for a comprehensive book on the subject of Crops and Cropping which, written in non-technical language, will serve as an everyday guide to modern practice. This book forms a complete guide to arable cropping and full detials are given of the cultivation, manuring and choice of variety of all the important crops in British Agriculture. Special chapters deal with the problems of cropping and the more important pests and diseases of farm crops. It is a book that should appeal to all keen agriculturists.
Contents:
1) The Principles of Crop Production. 2) Grain Crops. 3) Forage Crops. 4) Root Crops for Sale. 5) Root Crops for Feeding. 6) Miscellaneous Crops. 7) The Cropping Problems of To-Day. |
