Plant Nutrition and Soil Fertility Manual

Plant Nutrition and Soil Fertility Manual

As soil and crop management procedures have become more complex County Agricultural Agents farm advisors consultants and fertilizer and chemical dealers have had to specialize in some aspect of soil fertility and crop nutrition management procedures limiting their ability to provide a range of advice and services. Most farmers and growers can no longer turn to just one source for the information and instruction needed to achieve their production goals. With over 70 percent new material the second edition of the Plant Nutrition and Soil Fertility Manual discusses the principles determining how plants grow and the elements essential for successful crop production with a focus on the principles of soil fertility and plant nutrition. The book covers physical and chemical properties of soil chemical and organic fertilizers soil acidity and alkalinity liming and liming materials and micronutrients essential to plant growth. It also describes elements toxic to plants soil testing and plant analysis.

Molecules That Amaze Us

Molecules That Amaze Us

This new book is by two knowledgeable and expert popularizers of chemistry and deals exclusively with molecules and compounds rather than with the simpler atoms and elements. It is based on the very successful �Molecule of the Month� website that was begun by Paul May fifteen years ago and to which his co-author Simon Cotton has been a frequent contributor. � The authors � strike an excellent balance between introducing the novice to the world of molecules while also keeping the expert chemist interested. � I highly recommend this book to all readers. It will vastly expand your knowledge and horizons of chemistry and the human ingenuity that surrounds it. �From the Foreword by Dr. Eric Scerri UCLA Los Angeles website: www. ericscerri. com Author of �The Periodic Table Its Story and Its Significance� and several other books on the elements and the periodic table. The world is composed of molecules. Some are synthetic while many others are products of nature. Molecules That Amaze Us presents the stories behind many of the most famous and infamous molecules that make up our modern world. Examples include the molecule responsible for the spicy heat in chilies (capsaicin) the world�s first synthetic painkiller (aspirin) the pigment responsible for the color of autumn leaves (carotene) the explosive in dynamite (nitroglycerine) the antimalarial drug (quinine) the drug known as speed (methamphetamine) and many others. Other molecules discussed include caffeine adrenaline cholesterol cocaine digitalis dopamine glucose insulin methane nicotine oxytocin penicillin carbon dioxide limonene and testosterone. In all the book includes 67 sections each describing a different molecule what it does how it is made and why it is so interesting. Written by experts in the field the book is accessible and easy to read. It includes amusing anecdotes

Soil Analysis Handbook of Reference Methods

Soil Analysis Handbook of Reference Methods

For more than 30 years soil testing has been widely used as a basis for determining lime and fertilizer needs. Today a number of procedures are used for determining everything from soil pH and lime requirement to the level of extractable nutrient elements. And as the number of cropped fields being tested increases more and more farmers and growers will come to rely on soil test results. But if soil testing is to be an effective means of evaluating the fertility status of soils standardization of methodology is essential. No single test is appropriate for all soils. Soil Analysis Handbook of Reference Methods is a standard laboratory technique manual for the most commonly used soil analysis procedures. First published in 1974 this Handbook has changed over the years to reflect evolving needs. New test methods and modifications have been added as well as new sections on nitrate heavy metals and quality assurance plans for agricultural testing laboratories. Compiled by the Soil and Plant Analysis Council this latest edition of Soil Analysis Handbook of Reference Methods also addresses the major methods for managing plant nutrition currently in use in the United States and other parts of the world.
