Based on the two-and-a half decades of experience in soil, plant and water analysis, the author has prepared this user friendly laboratory manual giving the much needed and simplified versions of the analytical procedures. Along with the basic principles of different analytical methods, easy to understand basics of instrumentation are also provided for the benefit of all users in general and students in particular. This will provide details on sample preparation, standard preparation for calibrating analytical instruments and offers definitions of commonly used terms and interpretative data for evaluating soil, plant and water test results. The manual is essential for agricultural and horticultural courses in Colleges and Universities and will help in making the fertilizer recommendations for optimum crop production.
With the help of this manual you can use obtained test results to evaluate the fertility status of soils and the nutrient element status of plants for crop productions purposes. It serves as an instructional manual on the techniques used to perform chemical and physical characteristic tests on soils and describes the basis and procedures for each test in detail, including analytical instrumentation procedures.
