Abstract

The Observaciones... of Cavanilles are analyzed from a agricultural point of view. This book contains a very interesting descriptive information about the Valencian Kigdom Economy at the end of the XVIIIth century, mainly in the basic agricultural aspects (Botany, Geology, Entomology...) and in the usual practices, but it results poor in the introduction of new technologies derived from «The New Methode» initiated by Tull.
