Agriculture has been at the core of human civilization, offering food, raw materials, and livelihoods to billions worldwide. As challenges to the world today continue to multiply, from climate change and growing populations to the depletion of resources and the dynamic demands of consumers, there is an increased call for innovation and scientific development in agriculture. "Advanced Researches in Agricultural Sciences" deals with the theme of science and technology with regard to sustainable agriculture, where science and technology shine light on new findings and innovation that will make a difference for the future.

This book comprises research contributions from leading experts in various fields of agricultural science, ranging from crop improvement, soil health, and water conservation to advancements in biotechnology, precision farming, and post-harvest technologies. Each chapter goes into the details of key developments, providing practical insights and novel approaches toward improving agricultural productivity, enhancing food security, and dealing with environmental concerns.

It is motivated by the urgent need to bridge the gap between academic research and practical real-world agricultural practices. It therefore makes an attempt to provide a complete resource for researchers, professionals, policymakers, and students passionate about advancing agriculture to meet the demands of the 21st century.

We hope that the findings and discoveries reported in this book will not only be of relevance to the scientific community but will also inspire practical applications that result in more sustainable, resilient, and prosperous agricultural systems around the world.
