Soft cover. Condition: New. Soil is the most fundamental resource to fulfill basic requirements of food, fiber and shelter of human race. Soil forms basis for all terrestrial life. Soil provides a wide range of ecosystem services that make humankind to survive and progress. Soils are complex mixtures of minerals, water, air, organic matter, and countless organisms that are the decaying remains of once-living things. It forms at the surface of land and is the "skin of the earth". Soil is capable of supporting plant life and is vital to life on earth. The present publication 'Descriptive and Objective Soil Science' aimed to provide chapter wise brief information on different concepts of soil science viz., Soil genesis, Soil physics, Soil chemistry, Soil mineralogy, Soil heath, Soil fertility, Manures and Fertilisers, Soil degradation, Problematic soils, Soils of India, Irrigation water quality, so on along with objective questions at the end of the each chapter.…

References. 15. Glossary. Soil is most important natural resource, on whose health, the human endeavour depends. Soils which set a limit to crop production due to mineral stress, drought, acidity, sodicity waterlogging, etc. could be considered as problem soils. Of the 140 million hectares of net cultivation area in India these problem soils constitute approximately 60 million hectares. Therefore, it is highly imperative to understand the nature and properties and management of these problems soils to achieve food and nutritional security of the nation. It is in this context, the present publication consisting of nature, extent, genesis, properties and management of various physical and chemical problems soils. This book is intended for use of B.Sc.(Ag.) and M.Sc.(Ag.) students of State Agricultural Universities, Scientists of Crop Production, Extension personnel and progressive farmers. There are some publications on Problem soils are available, which often involve partial, complex information and hence, becomes difficult for comprehend and practice. In this book an attempt has been made to discuss complex theories in an easy self explanatory manner with relevant depictions, which will be very useful and interesting to the readers. The text book consists of twelve chapters. In order to limit the volume of the publication, detailed theoretical aspects have been avoided and instead presented in a short and simple manner. It is believed that the publication will prove useful for the students and faculty of Central and State Agricultural Universities, scientists, Extension personnel for whom it is intended. The Libraries of Agricultural colleges belong to Central and State Agricultural Universities, Agricultural Research stations, Agricultural Extension units, NGOs working for farmers are suggested to maintain this publication. Students preparing for JRF, SRF and ARS examinations in the field of Soil Science and Agronomy would get much benefit with the information present in the book.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book is a compilation of 37 chapters covering various agro ecosystems of India with respect to Indian farmers' traditional knowledge and technology in agriculture specifically in nutrient management, crop production, water management and conservation, soil conservation and plant protection, which have been passed on from one generation to other since centuries. The book explains the scopes of blending this traditional knowledge with modern scientific technologies in agriculture with an aim of reducing production cost, improving soil health and use efficiency of costly market purchased inputs, water conservation and better environment.In the present era of continued degradation of natural resources of India, (primarily soil, water, and nutrients), falling soil health, poor use efficiency of agricultural inputs like fertilizer nutrients imported/ purchased at huge costs, it has become a big challenge to maintain the food production and simultaneously to sustain the soil health and productivity. The problem is further made complex by the changing climate, high levels of soil erosion and rising demands of ever-increasing population of the country for food, fodder, fibre, and fuel. In the face of such an alarming situation, the blending of low-cost traditional knowledge of Indian farmers and use of locally available inputs/ resources with the modern scientific technologies in agriculture, is seen as a major hope in increasing the input use efficiency, protection/conservation of the soil, water and nutrients towards sustainable crop production and food security without compromising the soil health.The book will be of interest to the scientists/researchers, extension workers, capacity builders, planners, government administrators, teachers, and students.…
