"Sustainable agricultural management technologies should be studied in terms of increased productivity, profitability, energy saving and efficiency of agricultural inputs usage by using efficiency indices and sustainable indicators. The book serves as a complete source of information on efficiency indices and sustainability indicators followed in different branches of agricultural management research like nutrient, water and weed management, cropping and farming system studies, meteorological and crop physiological studies and economic assessment of all the management techniques. Keeping these things in mind the entire book has been divided into ten chapters. The book has been written for teachers, students, researchers and policy makers and extension workers engaged in agricultural management research strategies."
