Biological sciences are complex in nature. For systematic understanding of whole from parts, appropriate methodology and systematic classification systems are of immense help. There was a need to have various agro-techniques available in one cover, and hence this book satisfies the requirements of several agricultural scientists. In this book, the methods are rationally classified and it resolves the systematic understanding of the workers. This comprehensive treatise is useful to the students and research workers. The authors have adopted interdisciplinary approach in making available the new techniques in disciplines like crop physiology, agronomy, horticulture, forestry, anatomy and ecology. I am particularly impressed to note that authors have illustrated prerequisites to better understanding the complex techniques that are based on physics and elementary mathematics. I am confident that the workers shall be relieved searching methods required to plan their research strategies through this book. I am sure that several modern methods covered in this book shall help workers in their research planning.
