This updated and revised second edition brings geopedology issues into the current context.

An understanding of the mineral nutrition of plants is of fundamental importance in both basic and applied plant sciences.

This book will address the major subsoil physical and chemical constraints and their implications to crop production; Plant growth is often restricted by adverse physical and chemical properties of subsoils yet these limitations are not revealed by testing surface soils and hence their significance in crop management is often overlooked.
