From the Preface: In recent years Soil, plant, water and fertilizers analysis has become a scientific approach for understanding the problems related to soil, water, plants and fertilizers.

Many students of Soil Science, agronomy, horticulture etc. having deep interest in soil, plant, water, fertilizer analysis and its analytical techniques expressed the need for a comprehensive book in the above subject to the authors. The authors being devoted to teaching and research as well as to soil and plant analysis gradually took the work of preparing the manuscript.

Hopefully, the technical information contained herein will prove useful to agriculture graduates and post graduate students, scientists, teachers and analysts studying/working in the field of biological and applied sciences more specially in the field of soil science, agronomy, environmental science, plant science, geology, horticulture and forestry. It will also prove as a tool for soil testing, quality control and laboratories of related fields.
