Practical Manual Agriculture Chemistry

Practical Manual Agriculture Chemistry

It is a comprehensive manual useful for students and practitioners in agricultural chemistry mainly dealing with techniques for soil analysis. The whole process elaborated goes from collecting and processing soil samples up to analyzing soil profiles and characteristics, from determining soil density, moisture content, and maximum water holding capacity to hydraulic conductivity and assessment of soil texture. The manual also touches on some critical measurements: soil temperature, electrical conductivity (EC), pH, and cation exchange capacity. These contain detailed methods and practical applications that provide necessary skills in the effective analysis of soils, thereby adequately practicing agriculture and crop management.
