These lessons introduce some of the more important topics that are pertinent to a study of soil science. This information is put to use in the field for the description, identification, and mapping of soils, especially when estabilishing (or confirming) precision ag management zones. These lab lessons were modified from earlier lab manuals, course materials, and other contributions of Texas Tech University Department of Plant and Soil Sciences faculty members (Dr. A.W. Young, Dr. Raymond Meyer, Dr. B.L. Allen, Dr. Richard Zartman, Dr. Cary Green, Dr. W.F. Jaynes and Dr. Jennifer Moore-Kucera).
