Soil Science And Technology University Course 'Study for the Exam'. Many Questions. @IIT Kharagpur

My Playlists have all these lectures for you to freely view. At the end is the link for this Course.
ABOUT THE COURSE:This core course is aimed to provide a basic understanding of various aspects of soil science along with some state-of-the-art technologies. The objective is to provide knowledge of different physical and chemical properties of soil. Most importantly this course will impart different preparatory and exploratory data analysis approaches for unconventional digital soil mapping, modeling and mapping of continuous and categorical soil attributes, hyperspectral and proximal soil sensors and their applications for modeling of soil properties, soil pollution and remediation which are not covered in the traditional courses of soil science.
INTENDED AUDIENCE: Agriculture, Environmental science, Agricultural engineering
INDUSTRY SUPPORT: Fertilizer companies; Soil testing services; Soil and environmental pollution consulting companies; Soil remote sensing solution services

Instructor bio @Prof. Somsubhra Chakraborty, @IIT KharagpurI am currently serving as an Assistant Professor (Soil Science) at the Agricultural and Food Engineering Department, Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur. I was awarded various prestigious fellowships including the Australia Awards Fellowship from the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. I did my undergraduate and M.Sc degrees from BCKV and PAU in India and PhD degree in Agronomy (Soil Science emphasis) from Louisiana State University, USA. I started my career as a post-doctoral researcher at West Virginia University, USA. I joined IITKgp as faculty in 2016. I am passionate about the use of proximal and non-invasive sensors for soil management. I have around 50 international journal publications. I am currently serving as the member of the editorial board of Geoderma, the global journal of soil science.

Thanks 4 the nice words and support mate. TC is good fun. Cheers 2 U!

[@jamaicanfarmershut]

Yes sir great job great video

[@AussyCC]

I'm glad you liked it mate. Ask questions here or on my weekly lives on Sat morning Canberra time. Thanks for the support.

I just finished a course in practical horticulture. Not only for my farm, my extra. Was a brilliant course, nationally recognised . Cheers mate.

[@nicky9589]

The course i jist finished,, nationally recognised in Australia... spent $2,500 on this course. Ive given my books to my friend
To help him.
