<br/><br/> “Soil is the uppermost surface of the earth, which has been slowly transformed by decomposition due to the effects of weather, vegetation and human activities. The fertility of a soil is related to its capacity to maintain consistent output with minimal input. Soil fertility can be considered in different ways, depending on land use. The concept of soil fertility is most useful when it is used in a specific context. However, in all contexts, soil fertility depends on physical, chemical and biological characteristics. This book introduces the reader with the fundamentals of Soil Fertility by providing a balanced treatment of the subject in a highly readable and interesting format. It is hoped that the book will be a valuable resource for the students and professionals in the field.”--Back cover<br/>
