Principles and practices of agricultural analysis

This is a very enlightened online material that has gone into deep detail on the methods and principles of agricultural analysis, especially concentrating on the chemistry of phosphates. While elaborating on general analytical processes that should be used while carrying out agricultural research, Wiley also goes ahead to give detail method for analyzing mineral phosphates and phosphoric acid. The general text introduces numerous techniques in the realm of analytical determinations, including the citrate method and volumetric determination, amongst others, and the importance of possessing the right titration in agricultural chemistry. The book will also take great length discussing chemistry involved in the manufacture of superphosphates, which is inevitable in improving soil fertility. Of special benefit to students, researchers, and other professionals in agricultural science are the broad foundational knowledge provided in the book that applies in academic and practical settings.
