Sustainable Water Resource Development and Management is a
comprehensive volume on this important topic. It broadly covers the
sources, availability, demand, and supply of water and its uses in
irrigation and crop production in agriculture. It then delves into
many specific aspects of water resource development and management,
including Irrigation creation and utilization Water storage
efficiency, conveyance efficiency, distribution efficiency, and
application efficiency The role of water in plant systems and
soil-water-plant relationships Estimating the water need for
irrigation along with management strategies Water quality in
agriculture as well as the impact of water quality on human health
Water pricing Wetland management and water productivity Water
pollution in agriculture and water contamination in urban and rural
areas Examples and case studies are included to illustrate and
reinforce the text, such as reviews of river linking projects,
adopted water management technologies for agricultural farms,
important irrigation projects (both minor and major), and
more.Written by two eminent researchers and scientists in
agricultural water management, this informative volume is designed
for students of agriculture, researchers, policymakers, and
teachers engaged in the field of water management.
This book, the second of two volumes, discusses the importance of
fodder production of the minor fodder crops for animals. It focuses
on 25 minor forage crops, including non-leguminous perennial
forages, leguminous forages, and non-graminaceous forages. It
discusses crop production methodology and agronomic management in a
systemic way, providing an abundance of information on each type of
forage crop discussed, including preferred soil type, land
capability, cropping patterns, climate, and socioeconomic
conditions. It goes on to address pests, disease management,
agroforestry in fodder and forage crops, preservation, and
production and climate change. This volume provides valuable
information needed for effective forage crop production and
management. The book, with chapters from highly qualified
scientists, will be a rich resource for researchers, academicians,
students, and those in the industry. Forage Crops of the World,
Volume I: Major Forage Crops focuses on major forage crops. Key
features: * Discusses 25 different types of minor forage crops,
including many types of grasses and other plants * Provides
information on agronomic production practices * Covers pest and
disease management practices for forage crops
This new book, the first of two volumes on forage crops grown
throughout the world, discusses the importance of fodder production
of the major fodder crops for animals. It focuses on the 17 major
forage crops, both non-leguminous perennial forages and leguminous
forages. It discusses crop production methodology and agronomic
management in a systemic way, providing an abundance of information
on each type of forage crop, including preferred soil type, land
capability, cropping patterns, climate, and socioeconomic
conditions. It goes on to address pests of leguminous forage crops,
disease management of non-leguminous seasonal forages, agroforestry
in fodder and forage crops, preservation of forage crops, and
forage production and climate change. This volume provides valuable
information needed for effective forage crop production and
management. The book, with chapters from highly qualified
scientists, will be a rich resource for researchers, academicians,
students, and those in the industry. Volume 2 of Forage Crops of
the World focuses on minor forage crops. Key features: * Discusses
17 different types of major forage crops, including many types of
grasses and other plants * Provides information on agronomic
production practices * Covers pest and disease management practices
for forage crops

This new 2-volume set discusses the importance of fodder production
of the minor fodder crops for animals. The volumes focuses on
fodder production for forage crops, cover 17 major forage crops and
25 minor forage crops. The volumes discuss crop production
methodology and agronomic management in a systemic way, providing
an abundance of information on each type of forage crop discussed,
including preferred soil type, land capability, cropping patterns,
climate, and socioeconomic conditions. They also address pests of
the various forage crops, disease management, agroforestry in
fodder and forage crops, preservation of forage crops, and forage
production and climate change. Forage crops are very essential for
quality milk and meat production. Farm animals are normally fed
fodder available from cultivated areas, supplemented by a small
extent with harvested grasses and top feeds. The three major
sources of fodder are crop residues, cultivated fodder, and fodder
from trees, pastures, and grazing lands. The patterns and types of
fodder crops vary by geographical location.
