This book aims to provide the soil testing laboratory with sustainable technical literature on various aspects of soil testing, including testing methods and formulations of fertilizer recommendations etc, this book has been planned and it provides elaborated information on major soil types of India, their composition, plant nutrient and their function, typical deficiency symptoms of nutrients in plants, apart from procedure of sample collection and methods of analysis.
This book contains analytical concepts on nutrients covering principles, materials, equipment’s, methods, calculations and interpretations, with clear and easily understandable words/ sentences which provide better clarity of the analytical methods used.
This book will be a useful tool for soil testing in research laboratories for advancing research and preparing Soil Health Card for the farmers.
