Soil Chemistry Course Notes

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.

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.
