Peanut Agriculture and Production Technology: Integrated Nutrient
Management focuses on agricultural techniques and integrated
nutrient management of peanuts (Arachis hypogaea L.). Peanuts are
the second most important oil crop of India, occupying 5.7 million
hectares, with an average production of 0.8 ton/ha, which is 23.5%
of the India's total oil seed production. Worldwide annual
production of shelled peanuts was 42 million metric tons in 2014.
It is the world's 4th most important source of edible oil and the
3rd most important source of vegetable protein. The volume includes
basic and advanced information on production, agrotechniques, and
integrated nutrient management of Arachis hypogaea L. crop plant.
It studies the physiology of the peanut, looking at the proper
environmental conditions for optimal growth as well as under
various subnormal conditions. It explores the methods of nitrogen
application as well as the influence of different sowing dates and
population densities to harvest its full yield potential. The book
covers methods to achieve balanced nutrition, including using
organic manures in groundnut farming to enhance yielding ability.
The book will be a rich resource for those in agriculture,
horticulture, and allied sciences, particularly for agricultural
scientists in plant and crop physiology, agronomy, and soil
science. Farm owners and managers of peanut crops and production
will also benefit from the information provided in this volume.

'An absorbing love letter to the English apple tree...lyrical and
joyful' - TLS 'A delightful book' - Sunday Times Shortlisted for
the Andre Simon Food and Drink Book Award 2016 A Radio 4 Book of
the Week 'Wonderful, revelatory ... very moving' - Sheila Dillon,
BBC Radio 4 'His ability to laugh at himself, openness to wonder
and willingness to go wherever the search takes him make Brown an
engaging writer and The Apple Orchard an entertaining journey' -
Mail on Sunday Taking us through the seasons in England's
apple-growing heartlands, this magical book uncovers the stories
and folklore of our most familiar fruit. 'An orchard is not a
field. It's not a forest or a copse. It couldn't occur naturally;
it's definitely cultivated. But an orchard doesn't override the
natural order: it enhances it, dresses it up. It demonstrates that
man and nature together can - just occasionally - create something
more beautiful and (literally) more fruitful than either could
alone. The vivid brightness of the laden trees, studded with
jewels, stirs some deep race memory and makes the heart leap. Here
is bounty, and excitement.'
