The need of elementary experimental protocols in crop physiology courses for undergraduate and post graduate students have been keenly felt after adoption of revised course curricula. It was perceived that in absence of theoretical background students perform many of the practical exercises mechanically. In the present book emphasis has been given to describe the methodologies in a simple and logical manner. It provides stepwise protocol for each assay and the calculation of values from the observations noted. Important assay methods related to carbohydrates, nitrogen, phosphorus, fats, enzymes, growth hormones and physiology of growth has been provided besides preparation of buffers and standard solutions.
