This book presents a comprehensive study of Crop Production, elucidating its technology as well as methodology. Crop production depends on the proper implementation of soil, water and nutrient management technologies. Food production must be increased by around 50 percent by 2020 to satisfy the needs of the then population of nearly 8 billion. Much of the increase would have to come from amplification of agricultural production. Significance of wise consumption of water, nutrient regulation and tillage in the agricultural sector for sustainable agricultural growth and regulating environmental degradation calls for immediate attention of researchers, planners, and policy makers. Crop models enable researchers to swiftly investigate on the long-term consequences of changes in agricultural practices. This book presents an interdisciplinary approach and contributes to this new vision. Leading authors have analyzed topics related to crop production technologies in this book. Emphasis has been laid on general descriptions and principles of each topic, technical details, original research work, and modeling aspects. This diverse subject has been presented using different topics for convenience of the readers.
