Sugarcane cultivation in Visakhapatnam district is confined to rainfall dependent with little tankfed situation under low fertile red loamy soils. Out of 37,865 ha of sugarcane cultivation 65% of area is under complete rainfed cultivation. The productivity of sugarcane in Visakhapatnam district was very low as compared to other sugarcane growing districts in the state because of certain weather constraints viz., continuous moisture stress, frequent prolonged dry spells and waterlogged conditions in rainy season besides poor transfer of technology. Based on those constraints on-farm demonstrations, skill demonstrations and training programmes were conducted by ANGR Agricultural University extension wing, DAATT Centre, Visakhapatnam continuously from 2001 to 2011 years on various agro-techniques which are really effective and economical for sugarcane farmers. The results revealed that productivity of sugarcane was increased to 29.7% by timely pocketing of recommended nutrients and 38.8% by using drought resistant varieties under rainfed situations. The good agricultural management practices increased the cane yield by 36% and timely control of smut disease with propiconazole increase live cane number which in turn increased the cane yield up to 34.8%. Farmers of Visakhapatnam are reaping an additional income of INR 2125.0 to INR 5000.0 by adopting paired row planting and intercropped with pulses or vegetables in sugarcane against sole sugarcane cultivation. It clearly indicates that, cane yield of sugarcane can be increased from 51 t ha-1 to 81 t ha-1 by adopting appropriate management practices by duly considering the climate conditions with efficient transfer of technology.

Advances in Agro-technology (vol I), editors have looked to offer readers an account of the state of the art in some of the areas of major interest and concern by agricultural researchers around the world. These areas include diverse aspects of applied plant biology such as salinity tolerance in crops; new developments in basic physiology of photosynthesis; success in breeding of root systems adaptation to salinity and drought stress; use of feed additives, growth promoters and probiotics in animal production; crop management trends including pesticide use, integrated farming systems, practices in organic agriculture, application of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria and biological nitrogen fixation. The advances in Agrotechnology reported in this volume are intended to provide the scientist and the student in agricultural sciences with a close insight - hopefully a motivating glimpse - into the recent realization that the frailty of natural or man-made ecosystems faced with a threat such as that posed by global climate change is no different from the frailty of any sort of human material prosperity. Interestingly, the diversified areas of the book will definitely bring a new look in the advances of agricultural research with through discussion on the aspect.

Overview
The present book on Plant Anatomy depicts anatomical aspects of the plant that will help a reader for basic understanding in the evolution of different plant communities. It plays an important role for adaptation of plant to different biotic and abiotic stress. It has been documented that some glands, trichomes, epicuticular wax are resistant to insect pests. Similarly, the presence of trichomes epicuticular wax, compactly arranged palisade tissue, collenchyma and sclerenchyma induces drought resistance. So it is necessity of all scientists, especially for breeder, plant physiologist to have the thorough knowledge on plant anatomy for the selection of adaptable cultivars and also for better management of crops. This book covers all the aspects of internal structures of plant with its high resolution microscopic images and drawings of plant parts. The anatomical studies of plants organs are being presented here, as we believe that the morphological characters alone cannot project the adaptations in the plant. They can be better understood when supplemented with the anatomical characteristics, unique to individual type of crop. This text book would be of great help to faculties and scholars in plant as well as agricultural sciences and scientific communities in general as a good source of information and references
As per the Veterinary Council of India (VCI) syllabus, accounting is a part of BVSc & AH course in the discipline of extension education. However, there is a dearth of text book on this course written or verified by an expert in accounting.This book is expected to fill this gap. The book consists of seven chapters covering the VCI-syllabus on accounting with exercise, and summary at the end of each chapter. Besides, glossary and model questions covering all chapters with answers to the objective questions are appended to the end of the book. The book may not only benefit the students pursuing BVSc&AH degree but also the teachers engaged in the teaching of the course in veterinary colleges and universities in India. Besides, the farm businessmen and those interested in accounting may also find the book useful.

Overview
The present book, Botany of Vegetable Crops, is different from other books on vegetable crops. It contains 12 chapters with emphasis on major vegetable crops like Tomato, Chilli, Egg plant / Brinjal, Okra / Bhendi, Water melon, Bottle gourd, Bitter gourd, Cucumber, Ridge gourd, Sponge gourd, Cabbage and Coriander. It discusses on the morphology and anatomy of a few common vegetable plants. Morphological characters help in identifying the plant. It also gives an idea of the different adaptive modifications in the plant. It even mirrors the habitat, the climatic conditions under which it can be cultivated. The anatomical studies of each of the vegetable plant are also being presented here as we believe the morphological characters alone cannot project the adaptations in the plant. They can better be understood when supplemented with the anatomical characteristics unique to individual type of crop. Glossary added in this book can help readers to understand some related terminologies and bringing clarity of the content. We expect that this book would be of great help to a student of plant sciences, to a research scholar for reference and a good source of information, to a plant breeder, and to the scientific community in general.

Overview
The book is the compilation of comprehensive study of vegetable and tuber crops Worldwide. In the changing scenario of climate, it is well understood that merely agronomic management practices starting from sowing to nutrient, water, pest and disease management will not be able to produce potential harvest. In present days, growth limiting factors like drought, heat, cold shock, chilling stress, salinity, metal stress, allelopathy have posed alarming threat against successful crop production. So, physiological basis of crop growth and productivity must be well versed to formulate appropriate counter measures to overcome such constraints. Moreover, the productivity of the crop is guided by various physiological processes like efficient seedling growth, photosynthesis and translocation of photosynthates, sucrose accumulation, growth regulators, ABA, ethylene, brassinoid and balanced mineral nutrition etc. Authors have tried to concentrate all these aspects in lucid manner reviewing the up-to-date research investigation. The book widely covers solanaceous crops like chilli, potato, tomato and eggplant; cucurbit vegetables- squash, pumpkin, cucumber, bottle gourd, bitter gourd, muskmelon and watermelon; cole crops- spinach, coriander, parsley, celery, lettuce; root and tuber crops- carrot, turnip, beet root, radish, turmeric, colocasia, cassava, yam, sweet potato; bulb crops- onion, garlic, leeks; leguminous crops- cluster bean, snap bean, green peas, broad bean; other crops like okra, sparagus, shallot, rhubard. It will definitely be a rare book to the global readers.

The book Research Advances in Vegetable Crops is an outstanding contribution of the authors in the field of advancement of the vegetable researches all over the World. The book entitles from the seed germination and its necessity of establishment in the new environment where physiological responses are influenced by both biotic and abiotic factors. Priming is a simple technique that not only helps in proper germination but aid in seedling establishment. Phonotypical and physiological responses of different vegetable crops are of significant importance in relation to factors like nutrients, salinity, disease-pest attacks. Physiological and biochemical basis of tolerance to salinity is very important that may help in the evaluation and selection of pipeline hybrids and parents lines using a novel technique. Biotic factors are major constraints in crop production, so proper management strategies and control measures must be taken for potential outcome. In this book, a special emphasis was given on food value and food chemistry of different vegetable crops. Major aspects like nutritional value of fresh vegetable as well as food value, post-harvest physiology and processing, storage and food quality, medicinal values, food chemistry and food biotechnology have been discussed in lucid manner. Further, research advances in biotechnology of different crops will guide authors in formulating the direction of future research.
