Item description from seller

Contents: Section I: Common Soil Parameters: 1. Collection and preparation of soil sample. 2. Determination of soil reaction (pH). 3. Determination of soil electrical conductivity (EC) (1:2 Soil-water suspension). 4. Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC). 5. Exchangeable sodium (Na+) (Ammonium acetate method). Section II: Soil Physical Parameters: 6. Soil texture (Bouyoucos hydrometer method). 7. Soil bulk density (core method). 8. Soil aggregate analysis (Cambardella and Elliott,1993). 9. Soil aggregate analysis (dry sieving). 10. Wet sieving procedure for aggregate analysis (Using Yoder's apparatus). 11. Mean weight diameter and water stable aggregates. Section III: Soil Carbon and Fractions: 12. Total Organic Carbon (TOC) (Dry combustion method). 13. Determination of soil organic Carbon (Walkley & Black, 1934). 14. Labile Carbon (KMnO4 -Oxidizable soil organic carbon) (Weil et al., 2003). 15. Labile Carbon Fractions (K2 Cr2 O7 Method) (Chan et al., 2001). 16. Particulate Organic Matter - Carbon (POM-C) (Cambardella and Elliott, 1992). 17. Soil Respiration (Anderson, 1982) viii Soil Health Analysis. Section IV: Soil Availability of Primary Plant Nutrients: 18. Soil Available Nitrogen (N) (Subbiah and Asija, 1956). 19. Soil Available Phosphorus (P) (Olsen et al. 1954). 20. Soil Available Potassium (K) (Hanway and Heidel, 1952). Section V: Soil Secondary and Micronutrients: 21. Available Sulphur (S) in Soil by Turbidimetric Method (Williams and Steinbergs, 1959). 22. Available Boron (B) in Soil by Hot Water Soluble Method (Berger and Truog, 1939). 23. Soil Available Micronutrients (Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu) (Lindsay and Norvell, 1978). Section VI: Soil Biological Activity. 24. Techniques for Analysis of Soil Biological Parameters. 25. Enumeration of Soil Microbes by Dilution Plating Technique. 26. Dehydrogenase Activity. 27. Fluoresce in Diacetate (FDA) Hydrolysis. 28. Glucosidase assay (Eivazi and Tabatabai, 1988). 29. Phosphatase Activity in Soil. 30. Electrophoresis of DNA Molecule. 31 Important Terminologies used in Chemical Analysis. This book describes latest analytical procedures of key soil health indicators including physical, chemical and biological parameters. Most of the Soil Analysis manuals currently available, primarily deal with basic chemical and physical properties without giving emphasis on soil health assessment. However, literature shows indicator parameters such as soil carbon pools, soil aggregation behaviour, aggregate associated carbon content and biological activity are increasingly being used for monitoring the change in soil quality / soil health over a period of time. Analytical protocols in respect of these parameters are presently available in different research journals. This book compiles the procedures for the soil health indicator parameters including those being used of late for monitoring soil quality/soil health. This book is useful for researchers, post graduate students, academicians and policy makers in the fields of Soil Science, Agronomy, Natural Resource Management and Forestry.
