Handbook of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9789371708753)

This book has been designed to cover the entire under-graduate syllabus of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry in one compact volume of eighteen chapters. These chapters include introduction to soil science and agricultural chemistry, soil health and its management, wasteland and its reclamation, soil reaction and solutions, soil properties, soil taxonomy, soils as a source of essential plant nutrients, chemistry of soil acidity, chemistry of saline and sodic soil, chemistry of soil organic matter, soil testing and indicators, analysis of soil physical, chemical and biological properties, chemical fertilisers, pesticides, environmental soil chemistry and GIS, GPS, remote sensing. Related terminology and references have been provided at the end for the ready reference of readers. It is hoped that this book will be of immense value to undergraduate students of agriculture, forestry, horticulture and allied subjects as well as teachers, researchers, extension workers, NGOs, other stakeholders involved in farm advisory services such as Agri input dealers, Agripreneurs, Kisan Call Centers and extension functionaries working at grass roots level. It should be useful not only to students and professionals in soil science, but also to those in allied fields such as engineering, chemistry, geosciences, and marine studies, who are increasingly interested in soils. This is a useful source of information for farmers, trainers, and other interested persons to improve agriculture and the livelihood of the farming community.
