Standard Methods for Soil, Water and Plant Analysis

About this book

Written out of the author's experience at the laboratories in the Institute of Agricultural Sciences at Banaras Hindu University, this book addresses the need for identifying and addressing deficiencies in soil, water, and plants. Techniques to evaluate soil fertility constraints based on soil chemical extraction and analysis of the plants that grow on such soils are discussed. This book also presents standard methods from different sources – these have been compiled and adapted for routine analyses in the Indian subcontinent.

This book is aimed at aimed at research scientists, technicians, and students.
