More DescriptionAs in previous editions, this book presents the essential basic husbandry techniques relevant to optimum crop output in a comprehensive and easily understood manner. Wiseman has been joined by two new contributors, A. Samuel and S. Finch. Under this new joint authorship, the seventh edition of this well established text has been updated to cover recent developments in the field. This thoroughly revised text encompasses new material including the new 'Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations' and also the various 'Codes of Good Agricultural Practice' introduced since the previous edition. The growing pressure on the countryside is considered, together with the need for greater compatability between farming, wildlife and countryside conservation. The authors have retained a practical approach and the text is now presented in specific sections to enable easier reference. This popular textbook remains a standard work for all those involved in crop husbandry at all levels of agricultural teaching.
