Agriculture Chemistry

Agricultural chemistry is the study of both chemistry and biochemistry which are important in agricultural production, the processing of raw products into foods and beverages, and in environmental monitoring and remediation. Chemical analyses of soil, plant material, fertilizer, irrigation water, etc. are a part of basic work. Agricultural chemistry often aims at preserving or increasing thefertility of soil, maintaining or improving the agricultural yield, and improving the quality of the crop. It is hoped that this book would be useful to students, teachers, and researchers in agriculture and related disciplines like biochemistry, colloidal chemistry, microbiology, forestry and others.
