Abstract
The definition of a particular agricultural ecosystem is inherently difficult, partly because of the complexity of even the simplest system and partly because of the diffuse character of its periphery. Nevertheless, the general concept of agricultural ecosystems has gained widespread acceptance in scientific circles. This is fortunate, as an understanding of the concept is indispensable in any consideration of the role of agriculture in the economy of this fragile world of ours.Keywords
