Course overview
The field of soil science investigates the biological, chemical, physical, and fertility characteristics of soils as well as how they are formed, classified, and documented, and how these characteristics relate to how soils are used and managed. The Basics of Soil Science certification course is designed by Chandrika Varadachari - Chief Technology Officer & Research Scientist, which is presented by Udemy for candidates who want to study agriculture or environmental sciences to broaden their knowledge about soils.
Basics of Soil Science online provides a basic overview of all the main concepts and terminologies of every part of the soil and discusses the basic concepts concerned with soil science. Basics of Soil Science online training contains 4 hours of pre-recorded sessions supported by 25 downloadable study materials which discuss topics like soil genesis, soil mineralogy, soil classification, soil physics, soil chemistry, soil biology, soil fertility, and approaches for soil nutrient management.
