British Field Crops A Pocket Guide to the identification, history and uses of arable crops in Great Britain

A superb little guide to the crops likely to be encountered in the UK, giving their frequency, characteristics, history, distribution and uses. Each crop is illustrated with one or more very accurate line drawings to help identification. This second edition has been greatly extended by the addition of game cover crops, green manure crops and other niche crops (such as biofuels and specialist foods). Especially useful for anyone doing a BTO survey that involves identifying crops!
