- Summary:
- Vertisols are heavy clay-like soils that although fertile and potentially productive are difficult to cultivate. They occur extensively in many warmer climates such as Africa, Australia, India and Texas. Based on a workshop held in Zimbabwe in May 1999, organized by the Department of Research and Specialist Services (Zimbabwe) and the International Board for Soil Research and Management (IBSRAM), this book reviews the current state of knowledge on the management of vertisols in Africa, with comparative chapters covering other parts of the world.
