 DESCRIPTION
spacer
Designed as a text book, but equally useful as a reference source for scholars and others, this book offers all the necessary and desired information about soils and their culture. Beginning with classification of soils and their physical and chemical properties, it deals systematically with all such topics as soil acidity, soil moisture, soil organisms, accumulation of organic matter in soils, effect of manures and fertilizers on soil, soil fertility maintenance and development and management of alkali soils. Soil requirements for specific fruit crops have also been discussed. On the whole the book introduces the reader to soil as natural entities and their inherent characteristics; explains the basic relationship between soils and plants; and gives a clear understanding about the fundamental principles involved in the use of soil management practices. An exhaustive subject index for easy reference hunting and a detailed glossary of terms are other attractions of the book.
