Book Synopsis Vertisols and Technologies for their Management by : N. Ahmad
Download or read book Vertisols and Technologies for their Management written by N. Ahmad and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1996-12-11 with total page 566 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vertisols, one of the eleven established soil orders, are clay soils with unusual and interesting properties. They cover more than 350 million hectares of land in the world and in tropical Africa alone there are over 100 million hectares. Because of their very small particle size and high surface area, these soils have higher physical and chemical reactivity than other soils. Their interaction with agrochemicals/industrial wastes, has been, increasingly, the subject of research especially in the last two decades. Vertisols create special problems when used for engineering purposes. This book is intended to provide comprehensive and state-of-the-art information about Vertisols worldwide. Special attention is given to the use and management of soils such as fertilizer use, crop selection, soil tillage, water restriction on land including irrigation, and soil erosion. A special chapter has been added to deal with geotechnical engineering of Vertisols. Vertisols have great potential for agricultural production but many, especially in the developing world, are underutilized due to a lack of understanding regarding their behaviour and management. This book is written by leading scientists worldwide. It is expected that this monograph will be of great use to soil scientists and agronomists, graduate and senior graduate students. Improvement of their management may solve the current food deficiency in the world.

Book Synopsis Introduction to Soil Science by : Bernard P. K. Yerima and E. Van Ranst
Download or read book Introduction to Soil Science written by Bernard P. K. Yerima and E. Van Ranst and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2006-11-21 with total page 882 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasing population pressures and poor management of the diminishing fragile, marginal tropical lands is eroding the agricultural production capacity base necessary for its sustenance as well as a sound environmental health. This increasing degradation is largely associated with poor or inadapted management practices and environmental pollution problems. A good understanding of basic soil science is central to more sustainable land management. The lack of basic soil science text books at affordable prices constraint these efforts. With the above in view, this book has as its focus the development of an introductory soil science text, which covers in great detail a broad spectrum of the elements of soil science to include: soil formation, the morphological, physical, chemical properties, soil pedogenic processes, soil classification, and special aspects like soil biology, soil fertility and management, which are unavoidable in the continuum from basic to applied soil science principles. A good background of geology and parent material, which is often treated very superficially in most introductory soil science texts is given greater depth to give the reader the much needed support during the field description phase. This book will appeal to those working within soil science, forestry, plant nutrition and soil management, and environmental issues in the tropics.

Book Synopsis Guidelines for Soil Description by : Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
Download or read book Guidelines for Soil Description written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2006 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soils are affected by human activities, such as industrial, municipal and agriculture, that often result in soil degradation and loss. In order to prevent soil degradation and to rehabilitate the potentials of degraded soils, reliable soil data are the most important prerequisites for the design of appropriate land-use systems and soil management practices as well as for a better understanding of the environment. The availability of reliable information on soil morphology and other characteristics obtained through examination and description of the soil in the field is essential, and the use of a common language is of prime importance. These guidelines, based on the latest internationally accepted systems and classifications, provide a complete procedure for soil description and for collecting field data. To help beginners, some explanatory notes are included as well as keys based on simple test and observations.--Publisher's description.
