Contents: 1. Soil and plant sampling and their processing. 2. Determination of soil pH and electrical conductivity by different methods: comparison and interpretation. 3. Determination of organic carbon fractions in soil. 4. Determination of total and extractable micronutrients and metals in soil. 5. Fractionation of micronutrients and metals in soil. 6. Determination of available boron in soil and plant. 6. Sequential boron fractionation and colorimetric estimation. 7. Assessing different forms of sulphur in soil. 8. Determination of different forms of nitrogen in soil. 9. Determination of available phosphorus in soil and plant. 10. Determination of different forms of potassium in soil. 11. Determination of cation exchange capacity of soil. 12. Soil microbial biomass carbon and its determination. 13. Gypsum requirement for alkali soil.14. Determination of bulk density and water holding capacity of soil. 15. Digestion techniques for plant/manure samples. 16.Determination of zinc in human blood serum. 17. Determination of critical limits of nutrients in soils and plants. 18. Diagnosis and recommendation integrated system (DRIS) approach for fertilizer recommendation. 19. Risk assessment of metal contaminated soils. 20. Use of inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) for analysis of trace elements. Analysis of soil and plant samples is an important tool for assessing plant nutrient need for formulation of crop and site-specific nutrient recommendations for higher economic return as well as to minimize risk of environmental pollution . . . This laboratory manual entitled Manual on Advanced Techniques for Analysis of Nutrients and Pollutant Elements in Soil, Plant and Human covering methodologies for assessing status of nutrients and pollutant elements in soil-plant-human continuum, their distribution in different soil fractions, and protocols for risk assessment of polluted soils provides a timely and needed updates of new and simplified analytical procedures available today .
