Daftar Isi:
- This book presents a compendium of methods to characterize soil and crops from different pedoclimatic regions. The aspects considered in this handbook of methods are: - Experinmental design - Crop growth and quality properties. This part includes the development of the crops, the yield, the incidence of diseases, and the nutritional evaluation of cereals, legumes and vegetables.Types of sampling of the soils (oriented to determine dry bulk density, biodiversity or physicochemical characteristics). - Earthworm sampling. - Physical characterization of the soil including determination of dry bulk density, coarse fragments, water holding capacity, humidity, soil hydraulic conductivity, particle size distribution and aggregates. - Chemical characterization of the soil including determination of pH, salinity, and content of organic matter, organic and inorganic carbon, total and inorganic nitrogen, available phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, boron, effective exchange capacity, cations (iron, manganese, copper, zinc and molybdenum), and pesticides. - Biological analyzes that include biodiversity measures (of worms, nematodes and microorganisms), using techniques such as DNA extraction and purification, or fatty acid analysis. - Soil greenhouse gas emission.
