1. To help students develop the fundamental vocabulary used in crop, soil and climate related sciences and industries.
2. To emphasize the basic principles and relationships among crops and their environment and production.
3. To help students learn and apply the broad sciences of Plant Anatomy, Taxonomy, Physiology, Soil, Climatology, Genetics, Entomology, Pathology, Post harvest Technology and Horticulture they are intrinsically involved in crop production.
4. To develop a text book that is flexible for student learning and teachers use. The text is prepared in outline form to help students identify, follow and learn basic concepts.
5. The text book can be used alone, as a lecture supplement for individual study or for remedial learning of basic crop science principles.
6. The practical section of this text book can be used with either auto-tutorial or Conventionally taught laboratories.
