The study of plants may be approached from many directions, each of which is a specialisation involving an aspect of plant life. One such aspect is the economic value of plants, which makes up for the field of economic botany, which is concerned with the study of those plants that are economic importance. Undertaking a broad and in-depth look into the field, this book caters to the needs of students interested in exploring a more pragmatic approach to botanical studies. It takes look at the plants which are brought within the purview of the subject, and how conventional botanical standards of taxonomy, physiology, ecology and pathology become crucial to comprehension of their economic changing contexts of economic realities, and how botany should realise and adapt to such evolving economics. The facet of applied botany has not been ignored, and has also been brought in to decipher the monetarial aspects lying within the field.
