Synopsis
Explore the science behind soil and how it shapes crops, growth, and farming success. This edition presents a clear overview of soil structure, texture, and the ways water, air, and organic matter interact to support plant nutrition. It focuses on the solid and liquid phases of the soil, how rocks become soil, and how cultural practices affect tilth, moisture, and temperature.
The book blends definitions with practical concepts, from the size and shape of soil particles to how water moves through textures and structures. You’ll learn how soil nutrients become available, how the soil atmosphere and heat influence growth, and how proportion and arrangement of materials affect root development and crop yields.
- Understand soil texture, particle size, and natural classifications that influence drainage and waterholding capacity
- See how porosity, structure, and organic matter affect tilth, aeration, and temperature
- Learn about water movement, capillarity, leaching, and strategies to manage moisture
- Discover how plant nutrition depends on soil solution, mineral elements, and manure or fertilizer use
Ideal for readers of agricultural science and farming practitioners seeking practical grounding in how soils support crops.
