"Soil is the mixture of minerals, organic matter, gases, liquids, and the countless organisms that together support life on earth. A fertilizer is any material of natural or synthetic origin that is applied to soils or to plant tissues to supply one or more plant nutrients essential to the growth of plants. Manure is organic matter, mostly derived from animal feces except in the case of green manure, which can be used as organic fertilizer in agriculture. The text Handbook of Soil, Fertilizer and Manure gives the methods for soil, water, fertilizers and manures for determination of nutrients in plant and soil. Comparative effects of different fertilizer sources on the growth and nutrient content of moringa seedling in a greenhouse trial have discussed in first chapter. The objective of second chapter to investigate the sorption and mobility of terbuthylazine herbicide in a soil amended with three organic amendment and their effects on acute toxicity and morphological alterations in two earthworm species. In third chapter, we investigate the effect of soil rewetting following a prolonged natural drought on soil emissions of nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide in an agricultural field. Fourth chapter discusses on efficient nutrient management practices for sustainable crop productivity and soil fertility maintenance based on permanent manorial experiments in different soil and agro-climatic conditions. The objective of fifth chapter is to investigate the yield and soil phosphorus uptake of rice in response to long-term fertilization. Sixth chapter describes the different processes involved in the biodegradation of animal manure. Effects of different tillage methods, nitrogen fertilizer and stubble mulching on soil carbon, emission of CO,, N,O and future strategies has been focused in seventh chapter. Eighth chapter provides an original and contemporary synthesis of complex and inter-related factors that is broader, deeper and more interrelated than existing assessments. The aim of ninth chapter is to make a comparative assessment of plant-available phosphorus levels of croplands in regions of the European. The purpose of tenth chapter is to give an overview of the three major management technologies of manure recycling, including the aerobic processes of composting, vermicomposting and the anaerobic digestion for biogas production. The aim of eleventh chapter is to verify the N-fertilizer properties of a digestate coming from swine livestock manure, taking into account the possibility to utilize the processed agricultural waste of animal origin for limiting the risk of environmental pollution. Twelfth chapter aims to evaluate the efficacy of microbial inoculants and their influence in conjugation with different levels of inorganic N-fertilizer on the rhizosphere biological activities. Thirteenth chapter focuses on the use of organic and mineral fertilizers and cropping patterns to improve the organic fertility of eroded soils. The goal of fourteenth chapter is to evaluate the effect of inoculation with biofertilizers on the growth of Prosopis chilensis. The objective of fifteenth chapter is to evaluate the long-term effects of rice-based on crop rotations, tillage, and soil fertility on SOC and TN contents. Effects of conservation agriculture and fertilization on soil microbial diversity and activity have been focused in sixteenth chapter. The objective of last chapter is to evaluate the effects of different biofertilizers on irrigated rice grain yield."
