نبذة نيل وفرات:In this dictionary we aim to provide the user with a comprehensive vocabulary of terms used in agriculture, horticulture and other related areas. The vocabulary ranges from the equipment used on a farm to breeds of livestock, varieties of crops, type of pesticide and herbicide, and farm building construction. ...It covers not only agriculture of the tropics. The terms are defined in simple English in a way which makes them easily accessible to the student; examples of usage are given, especially in the form of quotations from newspapers and magazines published in many countries.
More extensive coverage of many topics is provided by the encyclopaedic comment sections which expand on the information given in the definitions, and give further details which may be of help to the student. At the back of the book, several pages of supplementary material offer information in the form of tables
