| Syllabus: | This unit will evaluate soil health i.e. the key aspects of soil biology, chemistry and physics that influence growth of horticultural and agricultural crops and pastures. Students will investigate the interactions between soil biological, chemical and physical factors, and develops models for best practise management of soils for sustainable production. Techniques for soil sampling, analysis and interpretation; practical solutions to improve soil conditions against natural and induced processes of (for example) acidification, Salinisation and structural decline. The relative merits of traditional and novel techniques to manage soils will be evaluated. |
