Publisher's Synopsis
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Agronomy involves a combination of soil and plant sciences such as biology, chemistry, ecology, earth science, and genetics in order to better the technology involved in the many uses of plants such as for food, fuel, and fiber. This book takes a walk around the field of agronomy, including plant breeding, green biotechnology, agroecology, agrophysics, the changes due to the green revolution, plus much more. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge.
