India having around 180 millions heads of cattle, 100 million buffaloes, 185 million heads of caprine and ovine population which makes her highest milk producing country in the world

Women, sustainable agriculture and women empowerment are now important issues in our development.

The book consists of 12 chapters. The I is related to terminology in experimental design while the II devoted to completely randomized block design and randomized block design for agricultural experiments in the field.

The book is written in easy to understand language, in short paragraphs and is fully supported by adequate examples.

The book is purely a text book for the undergraduate students of extension education in colleges.

"Biotechnology is emerging as one of the most innovative technologies in life sciences. It provides a set of tools, which if appropriately integrated with other technologies can be applied for the sustainable development of agriculture. Tissue culture is being used to propagate rapidly difficult root crops and conserve endangered/rare medicinal plants. PCR Technology has made it possible to fingerprint genotypes and understand their genetic relationships in a better way. Genetic transformation through direct and vector mediated gene transfer now makes it possible to incorporate novel genes for desirable traits. The various bioinformatics tools help to interpret the complex data available from various biological experiments. The book has 8 sessions comprising of 148 research articles and papers on the above topics."

Women empowerment is an important issue in our development.

Orchids are widely considered to be the most highly evolved of all flowering plants. They are amongst the most beautiful flowers of the entire plant kingdom, combining exotic looks with a diverse set of characteristics. Orchid plants are capable of growing indoors and outdoors, and are no doubt unique difficult to grow successfully. Among flower crops, orchids play a key role in Indian floral economy as they share sizeable export. The vast area and the varied agro-climatic conditions of our country, ranging from tropical to temperate region make possible to grow all kinds of orchids. In this context, a need of simple book on recent advances in cultivation and management of orchid is highly demanded by students of Horticulture & Forestry and florists of India. Thus, this book is brought about mainly to fulfil the above requirement and is also the outcome of our teaching, research and field experiences of several years. Orchid's morphology, propagation methods, cultivation, breeding, post harvest management, diseases and insect pest management describes in details in this book.

The 2nd revised edition of the book "Pests of Stored Grains and Their Management" covers syllabus as recommended by the 5th Deans Committee. The book covers uated information written in simple, lucid language, easily understandable by readers and summarizes the knowledge of insects and other pests of stored grains and grain products covering global scenario. Every chapter covers wider aspects of related work, storage requirement to prevent the losses of food grains at post harvest handling and at other levels too, different types of storage techniques and prevalent rural and improved storage structures and receptacles, storage pests (insects, mites, birds, rodents, microorganisms etc.), fumigants and their use, safety measures against poisoning, management of stored grain pests etc. The revised edition gives the readers the vast knowledge about the progress made in different aspects of storage entomology. The book will serve as the valuable source of information on the storage entomology and would be of great importance for its readers. The book has good number of MCQ's at the end of the book to help students along with colour images of insects and pests to easily identify them.

The book post harvest technology assumes great attention during recent years since preservation of agricultural produce is a basic necessity to sustain agricultural production. It helps to add value of produce, thus having great scope for employment generation at the production catchments. In this book, the authors have attempted to consolidate different methods of post harvest technology of fruits and vegetables focusing on recent advances. This book will benefit both practicing food technologist/post harvest technologist who are searching for answers to critical technical questions of post harvest technology. Further, it will be useful to agricultural engineers, food processors, food scientist ,researchers and progressive farmers and tom those who are working in relevant fields. it is intended to fill a gap in presently available post harvest technology literature

The book focuses on conventional and recent propagation techniques delving upon crop-wise depictions of different propagation methods in horticultural crops. Adequate insight is given to crop botany, ecology and economic importance of important fruit crops, vegetables, plantation crops and spices. The content of the book undoubtedly will provide a good guidance to students of Agriculture and Botany, Nurserymen and Agricultural Extension workers.

The book is intended to provide a clear overview on the management of pests and diseases of horticulture crops, associated soil and beneficial fauna, residue status of pesticides and their estimation techniques. It is divided in four parts: Part I explain the practices followed in the pest management of horticulture crops. s include pest status of insects, mites, rodents, and diseases in fruits, vegetables, ornamentals, spices and mushrooms and their management. Different aspects of biological, cultural, and mechanical controls are also highlighted. Harmful and beneficial soil fauna associated with horticulture crops are dealt in Part II. Keeping in view the potential of beneficial organisms, the effects of pesticides on predators, parasites and pollinators have also been discussed in this section. The recent scientific developments related to residue status in vegetables, fruits and spices are provided in Part III. Part IV includes the residue estimation techniques of various pesticides.
