Its Puroose is to assemble some uncommon terms relating to various asDects Df tropical agriculture. Some of the terms have been taken from existing specialized glossaries, some drawn from multilingual oublications, and others contributed by the Bank's language staff. It is honed that this mini-glossary, by providing ready access to these terms, will help reduce the time spent by the translators on individual research. Although the glossary will be expanded from time to time, its scope is intentionally limited, partly because many terms are simply too obvious or can readily be found in dictionaries and nartly because some crops, such as coffee nd cotton, are already adequately covered by existing specialized glossaries. 4ost crops and species imported into the tropics from temperate climates have lso been omitted. For the sake of convenience, the contents are listed under several hear(y,Frs e.g. grasses, trees, products), while terms that do not readily fall into anv )articular category will be found under Miscellaneous. All entries have been fully authenticated by reliable sources. Suggestions for improvements and additions are welcome and should be addressed to the erminologist, Language Services Division.
