Advances In AGRONOMY Vol. 32
As the world's scientific literature expands, it becomes increasingly difficult for
the individual scholar and scientist to keep abreast of the research findings in his
field. Agronomists and associated crop and soil scientists have social problems in
this regard because of the wide range of subjects covered by the field of Agronomy
All aspects of field crop inprovement, crop culture , and crop quality are included
Likewise, all those activities of soil scientists concerned with crop production on a
sustained basis are covered
Advances in Agronomy has done much to accomodate the communication among
agronomists and crop and soil scientists. The primary objective of this review jour-
nal is to publish papers that summarize research progress in various aspects of
agronomy and of crop and soil science. During the past 30 years, 245 articles have
appeared in this journal. Written by 454 authors from nations throughout the world,
these papers have provided concise reviews of subjects ranging from the genetics
and physiology of important crop plants to the classification and conservation of
soils and to their utilization for crop production.
To provide easier access to the literature covered in the first 30 volumes of Ad-
vances in Agronomy, this index volume is being published. Prepared by Dr. Albert
S. Hunter, Emeritus Professor at Pennsylvania State University, this volume pro-
vides invaluable reference information on all phases of Agronomy as reviewed by
the authors of the first 30 volumes of this important series.
Soil and crop scientists throughout the world are indebted to Dr. Hunter for the
tedious job he has performed for us. His selfless devotion to the task of compiling
the information contained herein places every soil and crop scientist in his debt.
Likewise, the support he received from his colleagues at Pennsylvania State Uni-
versity in preparing this volume is recognized and appreciation expressed for it
