The present text book is a comprehensive analytical manual covering the aspects of soil
analysis in the major areas of Soil Physics and Soil Chemistry. Furthermore, the concept of soil
microbial biomass carbon and nitrogen is also dealt in detail. An important feature of this text
is that it describes not only the analytical procedures in detail but also furnishes sufficient
theoretical background on the subject matter. The fundamental principles of the analytical
methods have been discussed precisely and the theories explained well with mathematical
analysis and chemical reactions whenever required.
