It is difficult to forecast the serious consequences of damage to
soil health on plants, animals and human beings. Agricultural soils
across the globe are affected by erosion, degradation, nutrient
depletion, pollution, organic matter decline and faulty management
practices. This has resulted into 'Plant nutrient disorders' due
primarily to imbalances, interactions, deficiencies or toxicities
of one or more plant nutrients. Quality of irrigation water and
environmental stress has a profound influence on this process. The
present book provides an insight into the reasons for occurrence of
such nutrient disorders, methodologies to monitor soil, plant,
water and environment and ways to diagnose the problem through
analytical and instrumental techniques. Widespread occurrence of
secondary and micronutrient deficiencies in soils have resulted
into low uptake of these nutrient ions by plants with adverse
impact on human and animal health. Continuous cropping without due
care of efficient soil and water use, have resulted in poor crop
performances with low yields in many areas. This book attempts to
provide answers to some pertinent questions on the subject i.e. I.
Why plant nutrient disorders occur? II. Whether these are site or
crop specific? III. How best one can diagnose the problem, by
adopting sound analytical techniques? IV. What are the major
concerns? V. How best one can manage such disorders to sustain soil
health for crop production? Implementing scientific soil management
programme requires good team work among scientists, extension
workers & field staff with governmental support and farmer's
participation. It is hoped that this book written in a simple
language will be very useful for the students and teachers of
Agriculture, Horticulture, Forestry, Fisheries & allied
disciplines.
