From the Preface: "Bioresources Technology for Sustainable Agriculture is aimed
to utilize the current knowledge on the biological resources for sustainable agricultural
system. Several leading senior scientists have contributed papers pertaining
bioresource utilization. It is time to exploit and utilize the biological resources or
biological wealth for the benefit of the human life and welfare. The biological resources
are cost effective, efficient, environmentally safe, economically viable and ecologically
sound but it is very important to utilize the biological resources for productive purpose.
The book covers wide range of important topics such as composting coir pith, insects
control by neem products, biological fertilizers, biomanure value of viscose factory
waste, agricultural wastes utilization, oil palm waste utilization and green manures for
crop production etc. and these technology oriented issues would play a key role in
boosting the crop production systems in sustainable agriculture."
