Rezensionen

It covers a wide field and is consistently interesting. The text is supported by long lists of references and there is a useful index - Agricultural Progress; ...provides a valuable introduction to the development possibilities and problems of new temperate crops. It comes just at the time when this subject has become such an important political and agricultural talking point, and it should help to focus greater attention on new crops in the UK. - Journal of Agricultural Science; ...it is well edited, well printed and well made. - Experimental Agriculture
