Soil Testing and Soil Microbiology
Soil testing informs the farmers of the imbalances in the soil and guides them in adopting specific fertilizers or soil conditioners to deal with the diagnosed issues. These tests can equip us in taking preventive and corrective measures even before sowing the crop, and that results in an un-compromised final yield. Thus, it is evident that the testing of agricultural soil is pertinent in India. The book contains 14 chapters covering all aspects of soil testing and soil microbiology, which include introduction, sanitation safety guidelines of the lab, physical properties of soil analysis, chemical properties of soil analysis, water sample analysis, prepare soil and water health card, manures and fertilizers: nutrient contents and their identification, organic farming, good lab practices, introduction to soil microbiology, soil microbiology and biogeochemical cycle, soil microbiology and biodegradation and biogeneration, effect of pesticides and other chemicals on the soil, microbiology of the soil and its analysis. It is hoped that this book will be useful for scientists, teachers, students and lab-technicians associated with soil and plant analysis.

Environmental Chemistry
This book has been designed to provide fundamental knowledge of the principles related to environment and its chemistry so as to meet the challenging requirements of students, teachers as well as researchers of Environmental Sciences, Environmental Chemistry and Environmental Studies at graduate, postgraduate, polytechnic and engineering levels at all Indian Universities.
It emphasizes that all living and nonliving parts of our environment are made up of chemicals and that all of the natural processes continuously occurring in the environment involve chemical reactions. The book tries to present the topics that are essential to understand the chemical process in our environment—involving air, Water and Soil. With this concept of interdependence, students begin to see that without some understanding of chemistry, it is impossible to fully understand environmental issues such as ozone depletion, global warming, air and water pollution and the hazards of radioactivity. This book is also useful for the students and teachers of general science.
