Summary
"Soil Management for Sustainable Agriculture: New Research and Strategies explores the various soil management techniques and the latest improvements in soil management. Taking a sustainable approach, the volume begins with an overview of the elementary concepts of soil management and then delves into new research and novel soil management tools and techniques. Key features: Explains how clays are a critical component in sustainable agriculture with respect to carbon sequestration in conjunction with its interaction with soil enzymes, discusses potential utilization of microbes to mitigate crop stress, presents resource conservation technologies and prospective carbon management strategies, covers the use of smart tools for monitoring soils, shares a number of nutrient management approaches, explores nanotechnological interventions for soil management, presents techniques for the remediation of soils contaminated by metals and pesticides. The recommendations and future research directions presented in this valuable book will be helpful to students, researchers, farmers, and policymakers from the disciplines of agronomy, soil science, and natural resource management around the world."--
