This unique, single-source volume
features scientific, technical, and
practical information on mineral, organic, and
synthetic conditioners and their
beneficial effects on the soil
physical properties that
promote optimal plant growth, maximize soil fertility, and enhance biomediation processes. Promoting the synergistic use of various agricultural technologies to manage global concerns of decreasing arable land, the Handbook of Soil Conditioners describes traditional and new products that renew and augment physical properties of soil, including procedures that enhance sustainability presents the most comprehensive discussion to date of new synthetic polymers for curtailing soil erosion, facilitating water infiltration into soil, and expanding crop output examines sources of organic matter and how by-products are prepared as compost for preserving and protecting soil emphasizes the utility of soil conditioners on farms and nonagricultural landscapes reveals how soil conditioners minimize problems of erosion, compaction, sodicity, lack of soil organic matter, crusting, and sealing and more! Containing over 1600 helpful literature citations, tables, equations, drawings, and photographs, this indispensable resource is essential for soil and crop scientists and technologists, soil and environmental engineers, agriculturists, environmentalists, landscapers, organic waste recyclers, producers of lime and gypsum, consultants for agricultural industries, and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines..
