Summary: "Soil science is crucial in today's time. It seeks to answer to the ever growing consumption and need of food. It studies all the aspects of soil and seeks to find solutions to increase productivity. This book attempts to understand the multiple branches that fall under the vast and varied field of soil science. The research in this field is constantly guided by the challenges and needs of civilization. This book aims to collate such researches and data and help readers understand the solutions and future growth of this discipline."--Back cover
