The diagnostic features of the seedlings represented in the book will be very useful, leading to correct identification of grass species for scientific studies on grasses. The book is valuable for researchers in the field of agriculture, especially for genetic improvement of cereals, millets and forage crops; ornamental horticulture and forestry; medical science; the study of ecology, and successions and climate change. The book provides the best platform for identifying the grasses at the seedling stage, which makes this book unique as there is a limited number of publications on grasses currently available. This book on grasses will definitely rank high in the catalogue of publications on grasses. The book will also be very useful for the scientists working for development of agrochemical to control weeds. -Dr. Haresh L. Dhaduk, Associate Professor, Department of Genetics & Plant Breeding, B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Gujarat, India
