    Foreword

    Sustaining productivity and profitability is one of the major challenges to the


    agricultural scientists for fulfilling the food demand of growing population in
    the country. Crop production is an important branch of agricultural science
    which emphasizes on the crops to be cultivated in a particular climate and
    in each kind of soil, and water management practices to be followed in order
    to increase productivity. It is basically conversion of environmental inputs
    (solar energy, CO2, water, soil nutrients) into economic products in the form
    of human or animal food or industrial raw material. Since crop production
    plays a key role in enhancing the total production by improving productivity
    resulting in food and nutritional security, so the students should know in
    depth about its important aspects.

    This teaching manual prepared by Prof. Janardan Singh includes important


    aspects of crop production besides production technology for major crops
    being grown in the State. I am sure that this manual will prove to be a
    valuable reference for all the undergraduate students of agriculture and
    allied sciences.

    The author deserves commendation for his painstaking efforts and I extend
    my heartiest congratulations to him for bringing out this comprehensive and
    useful manual.
