About this title

Synopsis

A practical guide to soil physics that helps you boost crops and manage fields more efficiently. Learn how soils hold water, conduct heat, and respond to lime, fertilizers, and organic matter.

This edition pulls together the essentials of soil structure, moisture movement, temperature effects, and fertility. It presents tested ideas on how to improve drainage, manage nutrients, and apply lime or other amendments to support plant growth. The text uses diagrams and data to show how different soils behave under varying conditions, with emphasis on real-world farming and land management.

• Understand capillary movement and how organic matter changes water flow through soil


• Learn how temperature, drainage, and moisture affect plant growth and microbial activity


• Explore practical guidance on lime, phosphorus, potassium, and other nutrients for field crops


• Study methods for assessing soil fertility and moisture-holding capacity in the field

Ideal for readers of farmers, agronomy students, and garden managers seeking hands-on soil knowledge.
