On management of technology and its application in agriculture of China

Agriculture is a pillar of industry and a key component of economy and society in most if not all of the countries of the world. Management of Technology (MOT), an emergent body of knowledge and techniques, can be effectively applied to improve economic efficiency of agriculture and develop a more harmonious relationship between agriculture and environment. MOT models, having found successful applications in science, engineering, and manufacturing, can be altered to accommodate modern agriculture of China when the latter is classified scientifically according to the requirements of agriculture and characteristics of MOT. The result proposes a new MOT-based model for improvements in agriculture.
