Sobre IBD

Soil science studies the texture, classification and formation of soil. The two main branches of this subject are edaphology and pedology. Recent research done in the field of soil science focuses on climate change and resource degradation. Soil quality and fertility play a significant role in agriculture. This book elucidates the role of soil in practicing sustainable agriculture. It aims to serve as a resource guide for students and experts alike and contribute to the growth of the discipline. Coherent flow of topics, student-friendly language and extensive use of examples make it an invaluable source of knowledge.
