This book covers the experimental procedure used for the analysis of soil, water, vegetation, nutrients, pollutants and statistical analysis of the data. I have used this book to analyze the nutrient of vegetation. Although I liked the way this book explained the statistical analysis of the data obtained from the experimental analysis. So, anybody who is doing laboratory analysis can refer to this book.
