Economics is rather being a stationary subject is a dynamic one. We
are living in a developing country with mixed economy. The economy
is however changing. The government is implying new policies thus
affecting the lifestyle and testing the managing capacity of a
business person. In our everyday life we deal with the situations
where we have make decisions regarding fulfilment of our basic need
with available resources. This book entitled 'Advances in
Agri-Management' is meant with an aim of enhancing the knowledge of
the students and every interested person in the concerned subject
matter. The main aim of the publication is to provide the academic
fraternity, insights and supports ways in which the business is
managed in the growing economies.

hormone profiles, enzymatic-genetic-tissue prognostic markers and
different modern diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. This book
also includes different research findings on canine mammary cancer.
The main objective of this book is to provide the latest
information to meet the requirements of not only undergraduate and
post-graduate students but also to the teachers and clinicians
involved in canine practice. The book contains more than 150 good
quality colour photographs of canine cancer, cancer diagnosis and
cancer treatments. This book would be of immense use to the
students, teachers and practitioners engaged in the field of cancer
research and treatment.
Abiotic stress factors frequently constrain the growth and
productivity of major crop species. The single greatest abiotic
stress factor that limits crop growth worldwide is water
availability. While genetic increases in yield potential are best
expressed in optimum environments, they are also associated with
enhanced yields under drought and nitrogen deficiency. These gains
are especially relevant given that further large increases in the
area under irrigation are not expected, and land deterioration
associated with intensive agriculture threatens those areas already
irrigated. This book is intended to cover all known factors of
abiotic stresses and their respective effects on some of the
important aspects of physiological processes in plants.1. Abiotic
Stress and Crop Yield 2. Physiology of Grain Legume Yield Under
Abiotic Stress 3. Photosynthesis and Physiological Parameters Under
Intercropping Condition 4. Role of Growth Regulators Under Abiotic
Stress 5. Plant Water Relationship Under Abiotic Stress 6. Dry
Matter Partitioning Under AbioticS tress 7. Effect of Pesticides on
Physiological Processes in Plants
The book has been authored by 30 well experienced academia to match
the syllabi in vogue prescribed by the Veterinary Council of India.
In addition, we believe that it has also been useful to
postgraduate students of Poultry Science and candidates appearing
for JRF, SRF, ARS and NET examinations. Further, this book has also
been prepared for the students of the Courses: Poultry Production
& Business Management (PPBM), B. Tech, B.Sc Poultry Science and
Poultry Science diploma. The title is quite comprehensive and
includes updated information on topics dealt with. The unique
feather of this book is that at the end of each chapter there is a
Question Bank with Answer key so as to help the students for self
testing and prepare for the examinations. This book also contains
best quality photographs, figures and illustrations to reflect the
course contents and explain the subject. We do hope that the book
will be appropriate use for the students in particular and
teachers, scientists and farmers in general.
Food microbiology is a branch of applied microbiology and the scope
of food microbiology is expanding rapidly to protect food from
microbial spoilage and provide safe, nutritious food to consumers.
We now live in a period of world wide food crisis, a food saved is
a food produced. The book embodies twenty chapters covering the
types and sources of microorganisms in food, factors influencing
microbial growth in foods; Preservation of food by high
temperature, low temperature, dehydration, osmotic pressure,
irradiation, high pressure processing, chemical preservatives, food
storage and packaging; Food safety and quality management,
fermented food products, dairy microbiology, microbial foods and
chemicals, mushroom cultivation, and microbial enzymes. Bacterial
food poisoning, mycotoxin and impact of genetically modified foods
with descriptive and objective questions. In addition, procedures
for fifteen practical experiments in food and dairy microbiology
and glossary are included. The overall objective of this book on
'Food Microbiology' is to bring together information on different
areas of food microbiology in a single source.
Climate change, resulted from the rise in global temperature,
drives many stressors which make it difficult to predict the
outcome in a general way. However, impact of climate change is so
far more visible in agriculture than other sectors. Rise in
temperature causes oxidation of soil organic carbon and affect
biogeochemical processes and mechanisms, which make soil health and
productive potential of soils weaker. It also affects weather at
local regional and global scale, and hydrological cycle as well,
which result in drought, flood, cyclones etc. Simultaneously it
impinges directly upon reproductive biology of crops by reducing
pollen viability and making spikelets sterile, which result in crop
yield reduction. In India, impact of climate change on agriculture
is predicted to occur more in northern parts, where wheat
production may suffer losses of 4-5 million tons for each degree
rise in temperature. Rice, pearl millet, soybean are other crops in
that line. Globally, it has been predicted to have a huge burden in
future as the world needs to feed nine billion population by the
turn of the 21st century. Several techniques like conservation
agriculture, integrated farming, crop diversification and carbon
sequestration through agroforestry advocated helping climate change
mitigation and adaptation have been discussed in detail in this
book. Therefore, this book serves as a repository of information on
climate change, mitigation and adaptation in relation to
agroforestry, which can be useful to planner, researchers and
undergraduate and post graduate students pursuing studies in the
field of agricultural and allied sciences.
In the present work, the authors have endeavored to bring out the
information on various characteristics of morphological,
taxonomical, economical importance of floriculture and landscaping
in glossary format with illustrations and photographs. The book
will prove useful to the students and researchers in horticulture,
landscapists and botanists as it is for the first time that such
information has been placed under a single roof.

Among the leading vegetable producing countries in the world, India
ranks second only after China. Vegetables play pivotal role in
mitigating nutritional requirement of the soceity as well as
providing employment oppurtunity specially in the agriculture
dominated rural agrarian economy of the developing countries like
India. Among different kinds of vegetables, cucurbits are a diverse
group of vegetables (include pumpkin, bitter gourd, water melon,
cucumber, pointed gourd, ridge gourd, bottle gourd etc) cultivated
widely all over the South Asian countries including Indian
sub-continent. These are basically worm season crops and fetch
several biotic and abiotic stresses during their life stages. These
stressess considerably affect yield potentiality of several
cucurbitaceous vegetables quantitatively as well as qualitatively.
Climatic changes and increment in cropping intensity reflected in a
remarkable and rapid shift of vegetable ecosystem that ultimately
increasing these stresses day by day. Biotic stresses like insect,
mite and nematode pests etc. are the most significant biotic
stresses which are responsonible limiting yeild reduction as well
as quality deterioration of produces. Application of hazardous
toxic chemicals to combat the pest problems of cucurbits not only
results in residual toxicity in vegetables but also destabilising
agro-ecosystem. Again, due to change in climatic condition and
introduction of modern agro-technology these problems are becoming
very very complex. In this perspectives, updated and alternative
information with regard to crop management of cucurbits is a dire
need of the hour for successful and remunerative cucurbit
production. The book covers all the issues related with these
aspects like insect pests, diseases, mites, nematode parasites
weeds, environmental stresses, nutrients elaborately with latest
information, findings ect. It will be helpfull for agricultural
students (both UG as well as PG level including Ph. D.) in India
and abroad, horticultural experts, extension workers, policy makers
etc. Latest available literatures, ideas, thoughts on these aspects
has been incorporated. Related colour photographs has also been
incorporated. It will be a treasure of knowledge with regard to
management of cucurbitaceous vegetables for better productivity and
remunerative cultivation.
