The "Soil, Plant and Water Testing" appears to be a comprehensive guide that covers various analytical procedures for assessing soil health, plant physiology, and water quality.

The key sections are as follows:

Soil Testing

• Analyzes physical and chemical properties such as texture, pH, electrical conductivity, organic carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, moisture content, cation exchange capacity, salinity, sodicity, organic matter, bulk density, permeability, and microbial activity.
• These tests help determine soil fertility, structure, and suitability for crop production.

Plant Testing

• Focuses on physiological and biochemical assessments like chlorophyll content, root and shoot length, carbohydrate levels, nutrient content (N, P, K), phyto-chemicals, water use efficiency, leaf area, photosynthesis rate, disease diagnosis, and stress evaluation.
• These tests are crucial for understanding plant health and nutrient status.

Water Testing

• Includes tests for nitrogen compounds, phosphates, BOD, COD, microbial contamination, pH, electrical conductivity, dissolved oxygen, total dissolved solids, nutrients, hardness, chlorides, and heavy metals.
• These assessments are vital for environmental monitoring, water treatment, and ensuring water safety.
