Description 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.
Audience
High school, college, university, agricultural experiment station, government, industry, and public libraries.
