India is one of the four major players in the global oilseeds/vegetable
oils scenario of the world, being one of the important oilseed grower,
producer, importer, and exporter. India has the largest area in
rapeseed-mustard in the world but the productivity in India is just
50-60% of the world average. To meet the challenges of oilseed
production in the post WTO regime, there is a need to adopt standard
crop management practices. The top priority has been given to increase
the productivity per unit area of land to meet the demand of the growing
population for which crop production research has been reoriented as
Integrated Nutrient Supply and Management System Research in an
environmentally sound and sustainable way. This book integrates current
knowledge in nutrient management, crop physiology, soil science,
agricultural economics and other relevant disciplines. This book will be
of significant interest to advanced undergraduate and post-graduate
students of Agronomy, plant physiology and crop science, Agricultural
economics and rural development as well as NGO workers and policy
makers, farmers and advisors and others interested in Agriculture.
