DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book is the outcome of a perception by the author's 28 years of experience as a teacher to have a textbook of fertilizers for the undergraduate and postgraduate students, researchers and teachers of State and Central Agricultural Universities (SAUs/CAUs), Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) and other Academic Institutions. This book addresses the courses dealing with fertilizers and their uses, occupying an important position in the post-graduate and Ph.D. curricula of all the SAUs/CAUs, ICAR Institutes and other agricultural colleges in the country. It encompasses classification of fertilizers; details on nitrogenous fertilizers; different feedstock, raw materials, synthesis of ammonia, manufacturing process of nitrogenous fertilizers and their chemical and physical properties, methods of application and fates to soils; manufacturing process of phosphatic fertilizers - their chemical and physical properties, methods of application and fates in soils; manufacturing process of potassium fertilizers - their chemical and physical properties, methods of application and fates in soils; fertilizers containing secondary nutrients and micronutrients; slow-release or controlled-release fertilizers - their importance and scope in the present context; and specifications of different fertilizers. In this book, the author has given systematic and in-depth coverage related to fertilizer technology and their systematic application under different soil-plant conditions. It has been written to provide the basic principles and theories employed by the fertilizer industries. This publication will be of immense use to all concerned with fertilizers use and agricultural development such as agricultural administrators, researchers, teachers, students, soil chemists, extension workers, farmers, field advisor and marketing staff of the fertilizer industry, trading organization, training centres and international institutes.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKSoil and Fertilizers: Managing the Environmental Footprint presents strategies to improve soil health by reducing the rate of fertilizer input while maintaining high agronomic yields. It is estimated that fertilizer use supported nearly half of global births in 2008. In a context of potential food insecurity exacerbated by population growth and climate change, the importance of fertilizers in sustaining the agronomic production is clear. However, excessive use of chemical fertilizers poses serious risks both to the environment and to human health. Highlighting a tenfold increase in global fertilizer consumption between 2002 and 2016, the book explains the effects on the quality of soil, water, air and biota from overuse of chemical fertilizers. Written by an interdisciplinary author team, this book presents methods for enhancing the efficiency of fertilizer use and outlines agricultural practices that can reduce the environmental footprint. Features: Includes a thorough literature review on the agronomic and environmental impact of fertilizer, from degradation of ecosystems to the eutrophication of drinking water Devotes specific chapters to enhancing the use efficiency and effectiveness of the fertilizers through improved formulations, time and mode of application, and the use of precision farming technology Reveals geographic variation in fertilizer consumption volume by presenting case studies for specific countries and regions, including India and Africa Discusses the pros and cons of organic vs. chemical fertilizers, innovative technologies including nuclear energy, and the U.N.’s Sustainable Development Goals Part of the Advances in Soil Sciences series, this solutions-focused volume will appeal to soil scientists, environmental scientists and agricultural engineers.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKControlled Release Fertilizers for Sustainable Agriculture provides a comprehensive examination of precision fertilizer applications using the 4-R approach—the right amount of fertilizer at the right time to the right plant at the correct stage of plant growth. This volume consolidates detailed information on each aspect of controlled release fertilizers, including up-to-date literature citations, the current market for controlled release fertilizers and patents. Presenting the tremendous advances in experimental and theoretical studies on sustainable agriculture and related areas, this book provides in-depth insight into state-of-the-art controlled release mechanisms of fertilizers, techniques, and their use in sustainable agriculture. Conventional release mechanisms have historically meant waste of fertilizers and the adverse effects of that waste on the environment. Controlled release delivery makes significant strides in enhancing fertilizer benefit to the target plant, while protecting the surrounding environment and increasing sustainability. - Presents cutting-edge interdisciplinary insights specifically focused on the controlled release of fertilizers - Explores the benefits and challenges of 4-R fertilizer use - Includes expertise from leading researchers in the fields of agriculture, polymer science, and nanotechnology working in industry, academics, government, and private research institutions across the globe - Presents the tremendous advances in experimental and theoretical studies on sustainable agriculture and related areas

DOWNLOAD EBOOKBio-Fertilizers are natural fertilizers which are microbial inoculants of bacteria, algae, fungi alone or in combination and they augment the availability of nutrients to the plants. The use of bio-fertilizers, in preference to chemical fertilizers, offers economic and ecological benefits by way of soil health and fertility to farmers. In view of the immense potential of bio-fertilizer technology covers all major types of bacterial fertilizers. This book will be of use and interest to consultants, researchers, libraries, entrepreneurs, manufacturers of bio-fertilizer and for those who wants to venture in to this field.
