“Agriscience introduces the broad field of agriculture, biotechnology, and natural resources, including the production of plants and animals and the management of natural resources. This includes instruction in the applied sciences related to plant and animal production and natural resource conservation and management, as well as introduces agribusiness management practices and maintenance of facilities and equipment. Agriculture helps to meet the basic needs of human and their civilization by providing food, clothing, shelters, medicine and recreation. Hence, agriculture is the most important enterprise in the world. It is a productive unit where the free gifts of nature namely land, light, air, temperature, and rain water etc., are integrated into single primary unit indispensable for human beings. Secondary productive units namely animals including livestock, birds and insects, feed on these primary units and provide food, feed, fiber, fuel, furniture, raw materials and materials for and from factories; provides a free fare and fresh environment, abundant food for driving out famine; favors friendship by eliminating fights. Satisfactory agricultural production brings peace, prosperity, harmony, health and wealth to individuals of a nation driving away distrust, discord and anarchy. It helps to elevate the community consisting of different facts and clauses, thus it leads to a better social, cultural, political and economic life. Agricultural development is multidirectional having galloping speed and rapid spread with respect to time and space. After green revolution, farmers started using improved cultural practices and agricultural inputs in intensive cropping systems with laborer intensive programs to enhance the production potential per unit land, time and input. It provided suitable environment to all these improved genotypes to foster and manifest their yield potential in newer areas and seasons. Agriculture consists of growing plants and rearing animals in order to yield, produce and thus it helps to maintain a biological equilibrium in nature.”--Book cover
