Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soil is the most fundamental reswource to fulfill basic requirements of food, fiber and shelter of human race. Soil forms basis for all terrestrial life. Soil provides a wide range of ecosystem services that make humankind to survive and progress. Soils are complex mixtures of minerals, water, air, organic matter, and countless organisms that are the decaying remains of once-living things. It forms at the surface of land and is the “skin of the earth”. Soil is capable of supporting plant life and is vital to life on earth. The present publication ‘Descriptive and Objective Soil Science' aimed to provide chapter wise brief information on different concepts of soil science viz., Soil genesis, Soil physics, Soil chemistry, Soil mineralogy, Soil heath, Soil fertility, Manures and Fertilisers, Soil degradation, Problematic soils, Soils of India, Irrigation water quality, so on along with objective questions at the end of the each chapter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is primarily written for students of borderline sciences for whom knowledge of the fundamentals of soil science is absolutely essential. These students are, very frequently, confronted with books which are far too foreign in outlook and background, and cannot afford the beginner a picture of the soil that he can view in the light of his own familiarity with objects of everyday life. The intelligent layman who has an interest or stake in the soil will find this book free from technicalities, even an elementary knowledge of chemistry is not assumed. Improvement of soil is the basis of all agriculture and it is hoped that this book besides its text book appeal will help in the awakening of that mass interest in the soil which ultimately must lead to a more intelligent use of nature's most abundant gift to mankind.
