Overview

Soil Science is a vital and foundational discipline in agriculture that encompasses various aspects of soil research, such as soil formation, genesis, and classification, soil physics, chemistry, fertility, and plant nutrition, and soil biology, among others. Accurate analysis and description of soils are crucial for their characterization and understanding. While the physical properties of soils dictate their suitability for cultivation, chemical properties provide information about their chemical environment and nutrient status, which are essential for crop production on this densely populated planet. The first step towards effective soil management and scientific recommendations for increasing crop yields is to determine various soil physical and chemical properties in the field or laboratory using appropriate analytical methods.
