Conservation for productive agriculture - New Delhi ICAR 1986 - 172 p.

In recent years the pressures of human population, expanding cultivation, developmental projects and increasing urbanization have been posing a serious threat to our natural plant and animal wealth. Environmentalists all over the world have been voicing great concern about the immediate need not only to preserve biological diversity but to protect soil health, water resources and habitats, which are crucial to productive agriculture and the well-being of people.

In Conservation for Productive Agriculture, some of the world's most eminent scientists share this deep concern with the readers and suggest an action programme to preserve the quality of our biosphere. The Indian Council of Agricultural Research is grateful to them for having quickly responded by contributing their authoritative articles for this volume, which is dedicated to Dr B.P. Pal in recognition of his outstanding contributions in the field of planned agricultural growth and conservation of natural resources.
