N2  - This book contains 18 chapters dealing with management oriented approach by identifying key issues in soil quality and management options to enhance the sustainability of modern agriculture. Topics covered include major plant nutrients (N, P, K), soil acidity, soil organic matter, soil microbial biomass and biodiversity, subsoil compaction, soil structure degradation, erosion, pesticides, industrial and urban waste. In-depth treatments of the soil quality concepts, its history, and its applicability in research and land use planning in Developed and Developing Countries are also discussed. This book will be of significant interest to post-graduate students and researchers in agronomy and in soil, crop and environmental sciences, and to stakeholders involved in issues related to land use and agricultural development
