Description

The history of statistics in agricultural research is a history of
designed experiments in the basic sciences combined with applications on
production agriculture and commodity processing. An understanding of
the logic and theory of statistics is an essential for the students of
agriculture who are expected to know the techniques of analyzing data
and drawing useful conclusions. The system of agricultural statistics
for food policy should aim at assessing requirements and availability of
food and plan production and supply for meeting food requirements. It
was particularly important for low income food deficit countries. It
should also cover access to adequate and safe food and an early warning
system for food security. This bo0ok is a modest attempt to provide a
simple non- mathematical text for those who desire to equip themselves
with knowledge of the statistical methods used in modern times. The
authors have attempted to give as many illustrations as possible to make
the concepts and principles clear to the reader
