These studies emphasize the relationships between plants, animals and bacteria and their environment. Agricultural chemistry often aims at preserving or increasing the fertility of soil, maintaining or improving the agricultural yield, and improving the quality of the crop. This book is intended as a basic in agricultural chemistry for students in agriculture and other examinations of similar types and standard. Efforts have been made to make the book comprehensive and easy to use. 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.
