CRC Press Soil Management: Experimental Basis for Sustainability - CRC Press

Soil Management presents comprehensive long-term agronomic trials and experimental data that document crop production systems with well-defined boundaries, offering a rigorous foundation for understanding sustainability and environmental quality. This volume in the Advances in Soil Science series draws on decades of field research largely overlooked by the academic and sustainability communities, providing invaluable insights into cropping system performance. With particular emphasis on tropical and sub-tropical regions, the book combines experimental methodology with practical applications to illustrate how different agricultural practices affect soil health and crop yields. The work addresses critical questions about balancing productivity with environmental stewardship, using real-world data to move beyond theoretical frameworks. Ideal for agronomists, soil scientists, environmental managers and academics seeking evidence-based approaches to sustainable agriculture, this reference combines rigorous scientific methodology with actionable findings from established field trials.
