The book on Manures, Fertilizers and Soil Fertility Management provides a thorough understanding of the physical, chemical, and biological properties that affect soil fertility and plant nutrition. All the important aspects of manures, fertilizers, and nutrient management are covered which are essential for undergraduate students. This book has been divided into five chapters viz., Organic Manures, Fertilizers, Soil Fertility and Plant Nutrition, Soil Fertility Evaluation, and Soil Fertility Management. The breakup of the chapters is arranged in such a manner that a reader gets comprehensive information, starting from different sources of organic manures to inorganic fertilizer management and their application; encompassing the nanoformulations of the fertilizers which are currently available in the market. The book pays particular attention to explaining in detail the soil fertility evaluation, soil fertility problems, and fertility management aspects. The annexure delivers important calculations pertaining to crop-based fertilizer dosage based on the nutrient, type of fertilizer, etc. This is a good basic book for an introductory course stressing the practical application of soil fertility and its management. The information provided in this book is in-depth enough for undergrads without going into information that is beyond what is useful for the field and also will be useful for postgraduate scholars.
