Agricultural Chemistry Fundamentals of Soil Science
Authored by Dr. K. C. Patel and Dr. Punit Mehta of Anand Agricultural University, this comprehensive PDF will cover all the essential topics related to soil science for students and professionals in agriculture. Starting with an introduction to soils, the book covers soil-forming rocks and minerals and the processes of weathering and soil formation. The text further outlines soil profiles and taxonomy, with a special focus on the soils of India and Gujarat. Various physical properties like soil water, air, and temperature are elaborated in detail in conjunction with soil colloids and reactions. Study of soil organic matter and several types of soil organisms, in order to learn how soils remain healthy and fertile, is included. This is a handy guide that will help one understand complexities in systems of soil and significance in agricultural practices.

Manures, Fertilizers and Agricultural Chemicals
This PDF is a comprehensive text that the department of soil science and agricultural chemistry at S.V. Agricultural College has developed on the different inputs necessary to improve agricultural productivity. The document is preceded by an introduction to bulky organic manures, where the amount lost at the time of collection and storage of farm yard manure (FYM) is reported. It deals with the preparation of composts, green manures, and terms of various organic wastes-terms like sewage and sludge. The book covers concentrated organic manures, biogas plants, and processes of manufacture of commercial fertilizers - both of nitrogenous, phosphatic, and potassic type. It also gives a rundown on mixed fertilizers and amendments, and secondary and micronutrient fertilizers. An essential feature is the Fertilizer Control Order, and thus this article becomes a fundamental reference point for understanding the role of fertilizers and manures in sustainable agriculture.

UC Davis course notes on soil chemistry include some of the interactions in the soil system. These include three-phase system of the soil; solid phase reactivity; and the chemistry of solutions within the soil matrix. Cation exchange reactions, soil buffering and pH dynamics, and redox reactions affecting chemistry in soil have also been covered. This resource has been very important especially for students who wish to understand the intricate processes by which chemicals regulate soil fertility and health and grant them knowledge that ensures effective soil management.
