<br/><br/> As soil and crop management procedures have become more complex, county agricultural agents, farm advisors, consultants, and fertilizer and chemical dealers have had to specialize in some aspect of soil fertility and crop nutrition manage¬ment procedures, limiting their ability to provide a range of advice and services. Most farmers and growers can no longer turn to just one source for the informa¬tion and instruction needed to achieve their production goals. With more than 70 percent new material, the second edition of the Plant Nutrition and Soil Fertility Manual discusses the principies determining how plants grow and the elements essential for successful crop production, with a focus on the principies of soil fertility and plant nutrition. The book covers physical and chemical properties of soil, chemical and organic fertilizers, soil acidity and alkalinity, liming and liming materials, and micronutrients essential to plant growth. It also describes elements toxic to plants, soil testing, and plant analysis. The topics and discussion in this self-contained book are practical and user-friendly, yet comprehensive enough to cover material presented in upper-level soil and plant science courses. It allows practitioners with general background knowledge to feel confident applying the principies presented to soil/crop production systems.
