Soil Constraints and Productivity — 1st Edition

Discover a practical, science-backed guide that unpacks the most pressing limits to crop performance and land health. This clear, authoritative volume examines physical, chemical, and biological soil constraints—such as acidity, salinity, nutrient imbalance, compaction, erosion and poor drainage—and links them directly to on-the-ground strategies for improving yield and long-term productivity.

Written for agronomists, soil scientists, extension agents, students and progressive farmers, this 1st edition blends concise theory with actionable recommendations. Chapters cover diagnosis methods, regional management approaches for tropical, temperate and arid landscapes, and sustainable practices that reconcile short-term gains with soil resilience. Emphasis on soil fertility management, remediation techniques, appropriate amendments and adaptive cropping systems makes the book a practical resource for improving crop production across diverse geographies.

Whether you manage smallholder plots in Africa, commercial farms in North America, or research projects in Asia and Latin America, you’ll find evidence-based solutions and decision-making frameworks that are easily adapted to local conditions. The book helps readers translate soil assessment into targeted interventions that enhance nutrient use efficiency, reduce erosion, and restore degraded lands.

Perfect as a reference for curriculum, field planning or farm-level decision support, this title equips professionals and practitioners with the knowledge to boost productivity while safeguarding soil health.
