Soil Quality: 1 Constraints to Plant Production

The Soil Quality ebook is a resource for farmers, agricultural professionals and students. Experts from their fields share current knowledge and best practice techniques in layers of information, allowing readers to choose the level of detail they require. The Soil Quality ebook is a series of stand alone publications that will be updated and added to over time.

The first book in the series provides an overview of soil constraints to plant production through an interactive learning experience via video, case studies, diagrams and maps as well as text. In the subsequent parts of the Soil Quality series, each of the major soil constraints are explored in detail. Industry perspectives set the priorities for content and are a feature of the series.
