Despite the abundance of books and extensive research on a variety of agricultural topics, the objective question types have not been satisfactorily answered. With topics on agronomy, horticulture, agricultural extension, agriculture economics, statistics, soil science, nematology, plant breeding and genetics, biotechnology, plant pathology, and agriculture entomology, this book titled "Agriculture Ready Reckoner" covers all the crucial facets of general agriculture and embodies fairly basic facts and elements. This book was prepared for graduate- and post-graduate-level courses provided by several Indian universities. We hope that students studying for competitive exams like the JET, JRF, PG entry (SAUs), SRF, AO, AAO, Supervisor, NET, and other civil services exams would find this book to be helpful.

Prior to compiling this book, we consulted several textbooks, periodicals, and test questions that served as the foundation for many of the topics covered in this book. To help readers better understand the most current developments in the field, each chapter includes a discussion of a new feature that has been included for the student's benefit.
