The need for consolidating 'Soil Science Treatise' was felt since long to cater the needs of students appearing for various competitive examinations It took many days to collect, compile, edit and update large wide spread literatures from various text books, reference books, different websites, published literature seminars, symposia etc. to bring this piece of information in the readable shape. Though many publications have come into existence on soil science, attempt has been made to incorporate the missing links and prepare a compact source of readily available and up to date information in a simple and lucid form which will be useful to the students However, I should consider my labour well rewarded only if this books serves the needs of all concerned.
