Best dictionary for agronomist and horticulturist March 18, 2002
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
There are few dictionaries in English, which you can find in market, and if English is not your native language, you will find it tough. Because Agricultural sciences cover a wide broad of sciences such as, Plant science, Soil science, genetics, Economics, Ecology, Fishing, and Animal husbandry and so many others. If you are in early years of study of agricultural courses such as Agronomy, Horticulture, Soil science, this reference book is the best one which I have ever met in market. The explanations are enough long to give you meaning of word or to get idea about it, wide ranges of knowledge and topics in agriculture, as many as meaning which you can find for a word or phrase or idiom.
I have the old version of this book (1962), but in many cases and times when I had faced with new words I found it much better than the others.
But on the other hand, there are some few weak points in this book. There isn't any picture, drawing or illustration (at least in my old book, 1962). Also, there is very few and rare words related to new area of agriculture, such as Molecular biology, Plant physiology, Genetics and so on. So if you are consider about base courses of agriculture. You will find this book the best option within few References and dictionaries of Agriculture in market (At least in English).
