Soil Properties: Testing, Measurement, and Evaluation (6th Edition)

By · ·

This laboratory book reflects the most commonly used methods of both field and laboratory testing to evaluate soil properties for engineering purposes.  Designed to conform to the latest information from the American Society for Testing and Materials, it familiarizes students with the standards that practicing engineers and architects cite in contracts and specifications. Each test includes a definition, scope, and objective and step-by-step procedures, data, and calculations sequences. Typical values for most tests are included, as well as completely worked numerical examples. This edition continues its simple and direct style and features updated testing procedures and a new chapter on in-field testing and soil exploration.

Soil Test Crop Response Model for Mollisols of Northern Himalayas

By · ·

A NPK ratio of 4:2:1 is considered as ideal for application of plant nutrients. However, in recent days, a huge variation from this ratio is observed due to unbalanced application of one or more plant nutrients. Production cost of N, P and K fertilizer increases day by day and the demand for them will depend upon the ability of the farmers to pay for them. Fertilizers constitute major input and increasing their efficiency will reduce cost of cultivation. Economic rationality, thus, dictates a more comprehensive approach to fertilizer application using soil tests, field experimentation for crop response and economic evaluation of the results. Fertilizer recommendations based on soil test crop response values have definitely changed the unbalanced use of fertilizer and increased the efficiency and saving of costly input of crop production. Our effort will be successful if this book could help the researchers in strengthening their understanding for conducting quality research for fertilizer recommendation.
