简介

"Get easy access to background information and detailed descriptions for frequently used procedures. With the helpof this guide, you can use obtained test results to evaluate the fertility status of soils and the nutrient element status of plants for crop production purposes. It serves as an instructional manual on the techniques used to perform chemical and physical characteristic tests on soils. The guide includes commonly used methods, terms, and interpretive data. Laboratory Guide for Conducting Soil Tests and Plant Analysis describes the bases for the tests and their procedures in detail, including analyticalinstrumentation procedures and laboratory quality assurance requirements."--BOOK JACKET
