My Thoughts about this Agriculture Book.
Pros:
- Everything in this book is Good and Fine as Information prospective.
- Even I have not reached the level to Judge or rate this Book.
- A lot of information hold it on with her pages as Facts and Figures to make it positive responses to the competitive and semester courses also.
- If you are searching a book to answer long or subjective questions with agricultural analysis data and yearly comparison no various data regarding subjective topic(s) this is best to buy and if you want objective type of agriculture question(s) then this will help you a few (Read – Objective Agriculture by Nem raj Sunda (BUY NOW)) because you need to short out yourself, the Self Notes.
- Helpful for advance study i.e., higher level or for agricultural competitive exams.
Cons:
- Too Heavy in weight as it have 1600+ pages.
- This book covers all aspects of Indian agriculture except horticulture.
