Soil aeration and temperature regimes.

Soil Chemistry:

Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) and pH regulation.

Nutrient cycling (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium).

Soil salinity and sodicity.

Soil Biology:

The Soil Food Web (Bacteria, Fungi, Protozoa).

Mycorrhizal associations.

Decomposition and organic matter transformation.

2. Agronomy and Crop Science

This area deals with the theory and practice of field-crop production and soil management.
