Agriscience Fundamentals and Applications Updated, Precision Exams Edition

Agriscience Fundamentals and Applications Updated, Precision Exams Edition brings the agricultural sciences into a clear, teachable sequence. This sixth edition by L. DeVere Burton moves from the basics of living systems and biotechnology into the practical work of agriscience: careers, supervised agricultural experience, leadership, natural resources, pest management, plant science, crop production, ornamental plants, animal science, food science, and agribusiness.

A broad foundation in agriscience

The structure of the text reflects the scope of the field itself. Early units introduce agriscience as a modern, applied discipline, while later sections connect those ideas to forestry, wildlife, hydroponics, horticulture, livestock, food systems, marketing, and business planning. The result is a textbook that does more than define terms — it shows how the many branches of agriculture relate to one another.

Built for classroom use

Because the book is organized into units and sections with a strong instructional flow, it works well for students who need a guided path through the subject. The emphasis on both scientific principles and real-world applications gives the material a practical tone, especially for readers studying agriculture as part of a career and technical education program.
