A Practical Course in Agricultural Chemistry provides practical methods in agricultural chemistry. This book discusses the major developments in agricultural analysis, including the atomic absorption technique and gas chromatography. Organized into six chapters, this book starts with an overview of the best instrument to use in soil sampling. This text then discusses a number of various methods for the mechanical analysis of soils. Other chapters consider the methods for the determination of phosphate, nitrogen, and potash in farmyard manure. This book discusses as well the methods for the determination of some of the individual minerals. The final chapter deals with the variation of the color of a solution with a change in the concentration of one of its constituents, which forms the basis of colorimetric analysis.
