Green agriculture is a sort of system which carries our agricultural production with green technology. Its basic content is based on biological diversity, keeping harmony between nature and economy during the course of agricultural development, by producing agricultural products in a pollution free and nuisance free environment. Methods and technologies to cater with climate change, droughts floods etc is also dealt in detail in the book.
The book Green Agriculture: Newer Technologies carries 18 chapters and covers most of the on farm adopted technology developed by our distinguished scientist mainly focusing how to save the planet earth during agricultural activities through modern technology. The attempt is to highlight the recent agro-based development through newer technologies to make agriculture productive and eco-friendly. (jacket)
