In the current era, country like Nepal should desperately focus to start farming with agricultural science, technical knowledge and skills; which awards ‘Agriculturist’ (as a dream) ample scope for achievement. Best platform that CTEVT puts forward to pursue this dream is Diploma in agriculture (3 years course), which requires a clear practical approach to agriculture study and gain a profound knowledge that βits the syllabus and evaluation pattern of CTEVT board. This series of book is an outcome of need of a student to get into the depth of agriculture science and to excel the examination at the same time.

Our team in Samiksha Publication felt urge for locally written textbooks on agriculture science that correctly fits Nepalese student (mind set) and is in shape with physical and socio-economic environment of Nepal. This is because agriculture science being highly specific the foreign publications are demanding and vague to relate. Thus, book covers whole syllabus with clean ideas, native examples, pictorial description, and clarification of fundamental concepts including original and momentous review questions.

This book is in accordance with the revised curriculum for DIPLOMA IN AGRICULTURE (Intermediate of Science in Agriculture) and is equally beneficial to NEB courses: Ten plus two in Plant Science and Ten plus two in Animal Science. This book can also be used as guide book for TSEE in Plant Science and TSEE in Animal Science and NEB Courses: (Class 9 & 10) Plant Science and Animal Science. The student in Bachelors of Science in Agriculture can keep this book as a basic reference.

The book series is intended to create the best possible reading material which assist teacher as well as students in the teaching learning process and fulfill their academic goal. The book is suited to give student a robust backup in the internal assessments and final examination.

The team expects that each agriculture student make this book their classroom friend which help them go through all the complexity in agriculture studies. We always appreciate the love and support from our seniors, juniors and all well-wishers. We are extremely thankful to you for going through this book and hopeful; this meets all your expectation and better your understanding in the agricultural science.
