This dictionary provides a basic vocabulary of agricultural terms. It is ideal
for students of land management, environmental and veterinary sciences,
and is a handy reference for those working in the agriculture industries,
especially those for whom English is not a first language.
Each headword is explained in clear, straightforward English and quotations
from newspapers and specialist magazines show how the words are used in
context. There are also supplements including conversion tables for weights
and measures and a list of world commodity markets.
Thanks are due to Dr Mark Lyne, Department of Science, Agriculture and
Technology, Writtle College and to Dr Stephen Chadd, Course Director at
the Royal Agricultural College, for their help and advice during the
production of this new edition.
