What's Inside
Soil Properties
Physical properties (texture, structure, bulk density, porosity), chemical properties (pH, CEC, organic matter, soil reaction), soil water constants (field capacity, PWP), soil colour and horizon development.
Soil Fertility
Essential plant nutrients, deficiency and toxicity symptoms, NPK fertilizers, secondary and micronutrient management, soil testing and fertilizer recommendations, integrated nutrient management practices.
Soil Amendments
Soil amendments — organic matter, lime, gypsum, compost, vermicompost, biofertilizers, green manure crops, micronutrient correctives. Integrated nutrient management for sustainable and productive agriculture.
