一提到物理学,人們馬上就会想到它和工程技术的关系;而談到农业,則会更多地想到生物学的作用。其实物理学和农业也有密切的关系。物理学的成就和研究方法,不仅早已广泛地应用在工程技术乃至地质学、化学、天文学中,而且也开始应用在生物学和医学上。物理学在农业中的应用才迈开了第一步,今后无疑它将对农业作出更大的貢献。农业物理学現在已經逐步形成一門新的学科。虽然它的范圍尚未十分肯定;但大致可包括影响作物生活的物理因素的精密研究,和以物理学新成就 When one mentions physics, one immediately thinks of the relationship between it and engineering technology; when it comes to agriculture, one thinks more about the role of biology. In fact, physics and agriculture are also closely related. The physics achievements and research methods have not only been widely applied in engineering technology and even geology, chemistry, astronomy, but also applied in biology and medicine. The application of physics in agriculture has taken its first steps. Undoubtedly, it will make greater contributions to agriculture. Agricultural physics has now gradually formed a new discipline. Although its scope is not yet quite certain, it can roughly include the precise research of physical factors that affect the life of crops, and new achievements in physics.
