The application of plant nutrients to different crops has contributed substantially towards this spectacular increase. Herdt and Capule (1983) estimated that from 1965 to 1980 increase in fer

In essence, the quality of soils is analogous to the health of humans, and just as there is no single characteristic that can be measured to quantify a person‘s health, there is no single measuremen

Physical Fractionation of Soil and Organic Matter in Primary Particle Size and Density Separates, complexity of SOM and its importance to soil fertility have challenged generations of soil scientists, and numerous studies, of which some date back more than two centuries (see historical review in Kononova, 1961), have covered a vast array of aspects of SOM.

Soil Water Repellency,69a). However, severe repellency is relatively uncommon, and hence the condition is generally regarded as interesting but inconsequential. Indeed, the assumption of nonwater-repellent behavior is the norm in soil physics (Philip, 1969).
