The idea for this soil, plant and water analysis manual grew out of the Soil Test Calibration Program within the region’s national agricultural programs that laid the basis for sound fertilizer recommendations. If soil and plant tests are not reliable, the process of sampling and analysis is meaningless and undermines the validity of any agronomic trials. As no essential element can substitute for another, it is critically important to identify where and when such deficiencies occur. That’s where the role of soil and plant analysis comes in. Techniques have been developed to evaluate soil fertility constraints based on soil chemical extraction and analysis of the plants that grow on such soils. Both are complementary and, when calibrated with field crop responses to fertilizer, provide a rational basis to identify what elements are missing, and how much fertilizer, whether organic or inorganic, to apply. Therefore, soil and plant analysis laboratories have a vital role in agricultural development.

A practical manual on soil, plant, and water analysis would be a valuable resource for agronomists, environmental scientists, and farmers alike. It would cover the essential techniques and methodologies for assessing soil fertility, plant nutrient status, and water quality. The manual could include detailed protocols for sampling soil, plants, and water, ensuring accuracy and consistency in data collection. It would also provide guidance on selecting appropriate analytical methods for determining key parameters such as pH, nutrient levels etc. Additionally, the manual could feature interpretation guidelines to help users make informed decisions based on their analysis results. This could include recommendations for soil amendments, fertilizer application rates, and water management practices to optimize crop production while minimizing environmental impact. Overall, such a manual would serve as an indispensable tool for anyone involved in agriculture, environmental management, or research related to soil, plant, and water analysis.

Principles of Soil and Plant Water Relations, 2e describes the principles of water relations within soils, followed by the uptake of water and its subsequent movement throughout and from the plant body. This is presented as a progressive series of physical and biological interrelations, even though each topic is treated in detail on its own. The book also describes equipment used to measure water in the soil-plant-atmosphere system. At the end of each chapter is a biography of a scientist whose principles are discussed in the chapter. In addition to new information on the concept of celestial time, this new edition also includes new chapters on methods to determine sap flow in plants dual-probe heat-pulse technique to monitor water in the root zone. - Provides the necessary understanding to address advancing problems in water availability for meeting ecological requirements at local, regional and global scales - Covers plant anatomy: an essential component to understanding soil and plant water relations
