"A cropping system may be defined as a community of plants which is managed by a farm unit to achieve various human goals. The latter include food, fiber and other raw materials, wealth and satisfaction. Conway encompassed these multiple goals in the phrase ‘increased social value’. Farmers are part of the system. They are able to set, or modify, their own goals, so two farms with identical climates and soils may be managed with different aims to achieve a different mix of outputs. Farming management practices include land preparation, planting, thinning and weeding, fertilizer application, pest control, irrigation, harvesting, and post-harvest processing. Each of the processes mayor may not affect the amount of genetic diversity of the crop population over time. Different levels of fertilizer application or the use of organic rather than chemical fertilizer may select for different genotypes in a population. Irrigated and non-irrigated populations of faba beans in Morocco have different population genetic characteristics. Dense planting to reduce weeding and post-harvest storage of seeds also play a selection role on seed survival and the continuation of subsequent traits in the next generation. “Cropping and Farming Systems” in a scientific and systematic manner to understand the fundamentals clearly and easily which is the beauty of this book. Potential yield can only be achieved under ideal management in an optimal physical, chemical and biological environment."--Back cover
