Synopsis
A practical guide to soil physics that helps you boost crops and manage fields more efficiently. Learn how soils hold water, conduct heat, and respond to lime, fertilizers, and organic matter.
This edition pulls together the essentials of soil structure, moisture movement, temperature effects, and fertility. It presents tested ideas on how to improve drainage, manage nutrients, and apply lime or other amendments to support plant growth. The text uses diagrams and data to show how different soils behave under varying conditions, with emphasis on real-world farming and land management.
- Understand capillary movement and how organic matter changes water flow through soil
- Learn how temperature, drainage, and moisture affect plant growth and microbial activity
- Explore practical guidance on lime, phosphorus, potassium, and other nutrients for field crops
- Study methods for assessing soil fertility and moisture-holding capacity in the field
Ideal for readers of farmers, agronomy students, and garden managers seeking hands-on soil knowledge.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Soil physics is the application of physics to soils. It is so closely related to other sciences that it becomes necessary to trespass upon tlie ground of some of them, notably botany, geology, chemistry, and zoology, to present certain subjects clearly and completely. Soil physics dovetails in with the closely-related phases of agronomy, as soil biology, soil fertility, crop production, and agricultural engineering, to such an extent that it is necessary to give material very closely related to all of these. An attempt has been made to emphasize the principles of soil physics, omitting the details of practice except where necessary for purposes of illustration. Although the book is written in the Middle West, yet the principles given apply anywhere. The arrangement of the matter presented has been carefully planned from the teaching standpoint, and has been tested in the classroom for several years. Various sources of information have been used by the authors and acknowledgment made accordingly. J. G. HOSIER, A. F. GUSTAFSON.
