In addition, the demand for analytical research support in the general areas of agriculture interfacing with human health and environmental quality has greatly increased in recent years. The trend for increased demand for analytical support will most likely continue in the future. To meet such diverse, increasing demands for analytical support, we need to upgrade infrastructure facilities and simultaneously teach and train students and young researchers in the use of modern analytical tools. This is prerequisite to providing timely, efficient, and effective analytical support, as such support is the key to monitoring, assessing, and maintaining soil, food, and environmental quality and to breeding nutritious food staples. date: 2016 date_type: published publication: Communications in Soil Science and Plant Analysis volume: 47 number: 03 publisher: Taylor & Francis pagerange: 275-279 id_number: 10.1080/00103624.2015.1122804 refereed: TRUE issn: 0010-3624 official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00103624.2015.1122804 related_url_url: https://scholar.google.co.in/scholar?as_q=Strengthening+Analytical+Support+in+Agricultural+Research&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&as_occt=title&as_sauthors=&as_publication=&as_ylo=&as_yhi=&btnG=&hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5 related_url_type: pub citation: Sahrawat, K L (2016) Strengthening Analytical Support in Agricultural Research.
