Description

"Problem Soils and Their Management" offers an in-depth look at the various types of problem soils encountered in agriculture and the effective techniques for managing them. The book examines soil-related challenges such as salinization, alkalinity, acidity, and waterlogging, all of which hinder crop growth and agricultural productivity. It outlines the chemical, physical, and biological properties of these soils and discusses both traditional and modern methods for soil reclamation. The text covers practices like soil amendment with gypsum, lime, or organic matter, as well as water management techniques for tackling waterlogged and saline soils. With an emphasis on sustainable agriculture, the book also explores new approaches such as the use of bio-fertilizers and soil enzymes to rehabilitate damaged soils. This book is an essential resource for agricultural scientists, extension workers, and farmers seeking to improve soil health and enhance crop yields in problematic soil conditions.
