A book written in a comprehensive way deals with, agronomic field practices, seed quality, irrigation modeling, soil and fertilizers management, weeds control, and food security ?
Major crops in interest are wheat, sweet corn, irish potato, and food legumes.
Here is a resource on Research Gate that was easy to find, as well as publications from Kentucky University and a European source.
There are more out there, but I hope these are a helpful start.

Dear Massami,
You raised a very interesting question. I appreciate also those scientist above who have indicated several references that may answer you question. I hope you will read them and tell us how much you are satisfied with these references. However, in my view you will never get perfect and absolute references that will 100% answer to you question. The reason is good integrated crop management practices depends on you local condition. What I mean is the soil type,nutrient contents of a particular soil, climate factors, diseases and insects pest types of crops you mention etc in your locality could be quite different at least they vary to some degree from areas that these reference materials based or written. Thus, as to me use these references as guide references and develop integrated crop management practices to your own settings or practices adapted to your local conditions. I said this due to the fact that agricutural technologies are different from other mechanical technologies in that mechanical technologies such as car made in Japan can be imported and driven here in Ethiopia. But agricultural technologies developed in Japan can't be directly imported and applied in Ethiopia. This is is the major difference.
What crop management is effeciently managed on water logged and salinized land. Any proposals or experiences. Any organic treatment for the land amendment is also a part of this or not?
