Discusses both traditional and modern forms of agricultural production focussing on sustainable practices. It discusses seed improvement, crop protection, phytosanitary aspects, protected agriculture, plant factories, hydroponic systems, mechanization, bioremediation, reduction of herbicide use, and characterization of bioactive compounds.

Due to the growth of the world population, food production has increased exponentially as have the agricultural production systems used to produce food. This book presents both traditional and modern forms of agricultural production, with an emphasis on sustainable practices. The volume discusses seed improvement, crop protection, phytosanitary aspects, protected agriculture, plant factories, hydroponic systems, agricultural mechanization, bioremediation, redul33
