A Handbook on Soil Analysis / Risikesh Thakur, Atul Kumar Shrivastava G.D. Sharma B.S. Dwivedi.

A Handbook on Soil Analysis in written for undergraduate and post graduate students to learn and perform soil testing for management and reclamation of ill oil to maintain the soil health in respect to physical, chemical and biological properties of soil and its interpretation. It will be useful for teachers, researchers and extension functionaries working in the soil testing laboratories . this book also includes soil sampling and its testing . Soil health card provides the estimation of fertilizers application and its schedulling intergrated nutrient Management and its importacne in soil quality improvement role and importance of macro and micro nutrient in quantity and quality of corp production soil salinity alkalinity and acidity along with its reclamation Natural Resource Management role of bio-fertilizer in improving soil health. Quality control in fertilizer soil degradation improvement of soil health fo sustainable agriculture vermicompost and its role in improving soil health classification of green manures & role in Improving soil health water management crop rotation.
