About the Book

The Encyclopedia of Agricultural Science is the first comprehensive reference that covers the wide variety of disciplines which comprise the field of agricultural science. The four-volume set provides in-depth treatments of specialized topics which are comprehensible to high school and undergraduate students, yet are also beneficial to researchers and specialists. Articles are arranged alphabetically and include featured topics in animal, plant, range, and soilscience; food processing, storage, and distribution; agricultural economics, education, engineering, policy; pest management; rural sociology; water resources, and much more.

Review :
"An excellent work... Highly recommended for all libraries and reading levels, researchers to farmers to general readers." --CHOICE "This book fills a niche vacant since the last comprehensive work on this subject was published at the beginning of the century. The strength of the Encyclopedia of Agricultural Science rests in its much greater depth of the field of agriculture." --RBB BOOKLIST
