The book 'Soil Fertility and Nutrient Management in Horticulture' authored by Chittaranjan Sarangi, Gour Hari Santra, and Biswanath Sahoo provides an exhaustive exploration of the principles of soil fertility and nutrient management specifically tailored for horticultural crops. With its comprehensive two-part structure, the first section focuses on soil fertility covering essential plant nutrients, their interactions, and their behavior within the soil ecosystem. The second part delves into nutrient management techniques, providing systematic approaches like Integrated Plant Nutrient Management and insights into nutrient use efficiency, ensuring sustainable horticultural practices. Enhanced with visual aids such as figures, tables, and pictures, this publication serves as an essential guide for agricultural professionals and students alike. As agriculture faces continuous challenges posed by environmental changes, this book seeks to empower readers to implement scientific soil management strategies that enhance crop productivity while minimizing pollution. The detailed guidance on managing soil properties and effective usage of fertilizers creates a roadmap for successful horticultural production, guaranteeing both ecological sustainability and economic viability.

This book is divided into two main sections: soil fertility and nutrient management as they apply to agriculture and horticulture. The first section addresses the plant nutrients and their role in the nutrition of horticultural crops, as well as their behavior in soil in terms of their availability. Additionally, the book discusses problems related to soil solution-reaction and salt content. All soil properties, excluding soil texture and depth (which are the two products of weathering), can be managed scientifically for profitable crop production while avoiding pollution. The second section provides guidance on how to manage these principles to sustain agricultural and horticultural production without harming the environment. This section is comprised of 20 chapters that are clearly explained with the help of pictures, figures, and tables for easy and comprehensive understanding. The book also includes suggestions for further readings at the end.
