Overview
This book investigates new agricultural systems such as organic and green manuring, as well as integrated pest management practices, and looks at how they can improve farm productivity against the enhancements for the environment. Much of the information presented focuses on microinvestigation of the soil, and on the effects of soil variability within fields on yields and nutrient flows.Editorials

Held in collaboration with the European Environmental Research Organization in January 1997 in The Netherlands, this symposium addressed the significant 20th century increase in land/labor productivity<-->in conjunction with the modern view of agriculture as an environmental as well as food production activity. The 16 compiled papers represent the state of knowledge regarding this enhancement, due primarily to applied agricultural knowledge and the use of external inputs. Topics include: ecological constraints, valid models, and other hi-tech decision support for smart farming. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.Book Details
