Introduction to Agricultural Chemistry

Agricultural chemistry is involved in the study of chemistry and biochemistry in relation to agricultural production. It also focuses on the processing of raw products into foods and beverages as well as in environmental monitoring and remediation. It observes the relationships between plants, animals and bacteria with their environment. Agricultural chemistry studies the varied processes by which humans obtain food and fibers. It also works to control these processes in order to increase yields, improve quality and reduce costs. This textbook aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects of agricultural chemistry. While understanding the long-term perspectives of the topics, the book makes an effort in highlighting their impact as a modern tool for the growth of the discipline. It will serve as a valuable source of reference for those interested in this field.
