The present practical manual on Agronomy and soil science brought out by the students of M.sc.(Ag) students of Acharya Narendra Dev University of Agriculture and Technology Kumarganj Ayodhya is a comprehensiveguide on the subject. It offers a fresh and novel approach for soil fertility analysis, nutrient uptake and removal studies through estimating/preparing nutrient budget, soilfertility map and nutrient concentration in different plant parts etc. It is hoped that this practical pocket guide will be useful for scientists, teachers, students and lab-technicians associated with soil and plant analysis. I congratulate the authors for this endeavour.
