Soil Constraints and Productivity Hardback

Identifying, interpreting, and managing soil constraints are major challenges, especially when multiple constraints occur in the same soil at various depth zones.

Although amelioration tools and strategies are available to manage some of these constraints, field adoption of these technologies is a major challenge to the farming community.

Soil Constraints and Productivity helps in identifying and understanding soil constraints, focusing on management practices to alleviate problems associated with these restrictions, and their impacts on crop productivity. Soil Constraints and Productivity aims to:Describe various strategies suitable for mitigating soil constraintsProvide data on cost-benefit analysis of managing soil constraintsProvide case studies of managing soil constraints to increase productivitySoil is essential for the doubling of major grain production proposed to be necessary to avoid major food security collapses in the future.

This book will be a key resource for soil and environmental scientists, farmers, students majoring in agricultural and environmental sciences, and crop consultants.
