Soil science and management
Plaster, Edward J. :
Soil science and management - 2nd Edition. - New York : Delmar publishers, 1992. - xii, 514 p. : illustrations ;
Glossary,Included Index
The importance of soil. Soil origin and development. Physical properties of soil. Soil water. Water conservation. Irrigation and drainage. Life in the soil. Organic matter. Soil fertility. Soil pH and salinity. Plant nutrition. Soil sampling. Fertilizers. Organic amendments. Tilage and cropping systems. Horticultural uses of soils. Soil classification and survey. Soil conservation. Urban soil. Where to go for help.
This revised edition emphasizes two aspects of soils: the science of soils (chemical make-up, biological properties, their place in the ecosystem) and the management of soils. Plaster provides the latest information on soil ecology, soil/water conservation and soil evaluation. Approximately 600 end of chapter review questions, problems and activities are also included for practice in applying basic soil science principles. This book should be of interest to undergraduates on courses in soil science.
