From the preface: The importance of soil fertility and plant nutrition to the health and survival of all life can not be overstated. As human population continues to increase, there will be greater demand for food and fibre which in turn will place greater demand on soils to supply essential nutrients. Therefore it is very much essential to understand the physical, chemical and biological properties and relationships in the soil-plant atmosphere continuum that control nutrient availability. The soils native ability to supply sufficient nutrients has decreased with higher plant productivity levels associated with increased human demand for food. One of the greatest challenges of our generation will be to develop and implement soil-crop and nutrient management technologies that enhance plant productivity and the quality of the soil water and air.
