Several textbooks have been written which are suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate students. A good grasp of the subject, however requires a drilled mind to be aware of so many aspects. Newer dimensions are adding up fast in the science of agronomy. Integrating the ever widening dimensions of basic and applied aspects of agronomy subject cannot be merely met by a textbook or a manual or a periodical.
