• Hand Book of Soil Science Part - I

  By Dr.K.Manikandan · English · ₹176

  This book is a sincere academic endeavour by the experienced authors to present the concepts, principles and practical applications of Soil Resource Inventory and Geoinformatics in a simple, systematic and reader-friendly manner. The primary motivation behind this work is the need for an easily understandable textbook that meets the learning requirements of undergraduate students in Agriculture and allied disciplines. The book comprises 16 chapters covering the fundamental concepts of soil resources, soil survey, soil mapping, remote sensing, Geographic Information System (GIS), Global Positioning System (GPS) and other geospatial technologies. Special emphasis is given to the application of these technologies in soil resource assessment, land suitability evaluation, agricultural planning and sustainable natural resource management. Each chapter begins with a brief outline of the topics covered, providing readers with a clear overview of the subject matter. The language is simple, lucid and straightforward, making technical concepts accessible to learners with different levels of understanding. Relevant diagrams, maps, illustrations and colour photographs are incorporated wherever necessary to enhance visual learning, clarify complex concepts and make the reading experience more interesting and effective. The integration of soil information with geospatial technologies provides valuable support for scientific land-use planning, efficient resource utilization and sustainable agricultural development. The book is intended to serve as a valuable learning resource for students, a supportive teaching aid for faculty members and a useful reference for researchers, extension professionals and other stakeholders interested in soil resources and geospatial applications. The authors sincerely hope that this effort will promote greater interest in the subject and encourage the effective application of scientific knowledge and modern technologies for the sustainable management of soil and land resources. Ancillary information such as power point presentations, online quizzes, videos and reference text can be freely accessed by the users in the following links https://sites.google.com/view/vocacrisis/about-sis
