Elements of Scientific Agriculture

John Pitkin Norton's is a comprehensive guide to the basic elements of scientific agriculture. The notes contain all the major detail related to the organic and inorganic contents of the plant, characteristics of soil, and manures. Besides, it also deals with the utilization of crops as feed to animals along with structure of milk and other dairy products. It is, therefore, for people who are interested in scientific technology behind agricultural practice, as this resource will provide a more comprehensive view on how contributing factors go into effective crop production and sustainability.

Practical Manual Agriculture Chemistry

Practical Manual Agriculture Chemistry

It is a comprehensive manual useful for students and practitioners in agricultural chemistry mainly dealing with techniques for soil analysis. The whole process elaborated goes from collecting and processing soil samples up to analyzing soil profiles and characteristics, from determining soil density, moisture content, and maximum water holding capacity to hydraulic conductivity and assessment of soil texture. The manual also touches on some critical measurements: soil temperature, electrical conductivity (EC), pH, and cation exchange capacity. These contain detailed methods and practical applications that provide necessary skills in the effective analysis of soils, thereby adequately practicing agriculture and crop management.

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.
