New crop establishment
Knowles, P.F.
New crop establishment - Bronx, NY (USA) : Springer New York, 1960. - Printed
As a text for my report I would like to use the words of Dr. R. D. Lewis, Director of the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station and Chairman of the President's Commission Task Group on New and Special Crops (19). "A new crop is neither a magic development nor a magic solution. It generally represents years of search, study, evaluation, adaptation and culture, deliberate development and planned promotion." My purpose is not to trace for you in detail the actual development of new crops. Rather, I intend to highlight, as I see them, the main factors involved in the successful establishment of a new crop. In conclusion I shall present some ideas indicating where botanists, using this word in a rather wide sense, fit into this picture. Forgive me if I bias my remarks toward the oil crops and toward our experience with them in California.
