Synopsis The term 'dictionary' for a layman means a reference book that consists of a list of words along with their meanings. And, when one talks of a dictionary, he or she is implicity understood as referring to a dictionary of English words. But, unlike wheat our minds are tuned to think, a person who is talking about a dictionary might just be talking about a glossary of terms belonging to a particular subject. This is exactly where our series comes in the picture. The series consists of dictionaries on varied subjects, ranging from common topics like Commerce and Botany, to very profound and complicated subjects like Entomology and Toxicology. The use of simple and easily comprehensible language, along with real life examples and appropriate pictures, fosters an enriching learning experience for the readers, thereby making each and every volume a must buy. ‘Dictionary of Agronomy’ is a comprehensive compilation of the terminology used in agronomy. It covers the whole range of agronomical terms and includes essential entries from such fields as soil science, hydrology, instrumentation, nuclear agriculture, sewerage, waste water use, plant physiology, plant protection, ecology, agricultural economics, meteorology and soil conservation. There are also terms related to modern agricultural techniques. The language of the book is easy to understand and the bold headwords provide quick reference to the terms typical in agronomy. The dictionary has been designed to achieve the purpose of providing an authoritative source to which one can turn to with confidence for the meanings of the common as well as special terms used in modern agronomy.
