About

Soil fertility indicates the ability of soil to sustain plant growth and optimize crop yield. This course aims to provide a comprehensive knowledge of soil fertility, plant nutrition, fertilizers, and nutrient management so that students can: Explain the influence of soil attributes and their interactions on plant nutrient availability. Identify plant nutrition–soil fertility problems and recommend proper corrective action. Gain a comprehensive knowledge of fertilizers and their properties. Gain knowledge of organic nutrient management, and identify soil and nutrient management practices that maximize productivity and profitability while enhancing the soil productivity and quality of the environment.

Intended audience: Students Of Agricultural Engineering, Agriculture And Allied Science.
