Vertisols and Technologies for their Management
Elsevier Science 1996; US$ 430.00Vertisols, one of the eleven established soil orders, are clay soils with unusual and interesting properties. They cover more than 350 million hectares of land in the world and in tropical Africa alone there are over 100 million hectares. Because of their very small particle size and high surface area, these soils have higher physical and chemical... more...
Soil Quality for Crop Production and Ecosystem Health
Elsevier Science 1997; US$ 410.00Soil is a complex body that exists as many types, each with diverse properties that may vary widely across time and space as a function of many factors. This complexity makes the evaluation of soil quality much more challenging than that of water or air quality. Evaluation of soil quality now considers environmental implications as well as economic... more...
Silicon in Agriculture
Elsevier Science 2001; US$ 165.00Presenting the first book to focus on the importance of silicon for plant health and soil productivity and on our current understanding of this element as it relates to agriculture.
