It proposes a paradigm shift in the approach to global soil testing procedures. Historically, soil testing has been used to quantify availability of essential plant nutrients to field-grown crops. However, contemporary soil tests are based on philosophies and procedures developed several decades ago, without significant changes in their general approach. For a soil test to be accurate, one needs to clearly understand the physico-chemico-physiological processes at the soil-root interface and, an understanding of soils and plant root systems as polycationic systems is essential. It is this knowledge that leads to sound prescriptive soil nutrient management inasmuch as soil nutrient bioavailability vis-à-vis fertilizer application is concerned, because, of all the factors which govern sustainability in crop production, the nutrient factor is the most important, yet, it is also least resilient to management. This book provides a clear scientific basis of the thermodynamics of soil nutrient bio availability, which routine soil testing does not provide. 001439082 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed August 31, 2021). 001439082 650_0 $$aSoil management. 001439082 650_0 $$aSoils$$xComposition. 001439082 650_0 $$aSoils and nutrition. 001439082 650_0 $$aSoils$$xTesting. 001439082 650_6 $$aSols$$xAménagement. 001439082 650_6 $$aSols$$xComposition. 001439082 650_6 $$aSols et alimentation. 001439082 650_6 $$aSols$$xEssais. 001439082 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001439082 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aNair, Kodoth Prabhakaran.$$tThermodynamics of soil nutrient bioavailability.$$dCham : Springer, [2021]$$z3030768163$$z9783030768164$$w(OCoLC)1247665228 001439082 852__ $$bebk 001439082 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-76817-1$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001439082 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1439082$$pGLOBAL_SET 001439082 980__ $$aBIB 001439082 980__ $$aEBOOK 001439082 982__ $$aEbook 001439082 983__ $$aOnline 001439082 994__ $$a92$$bISE
