About

    Soil health refers to the overall well-being and fertility of soil in supporting plant growth and sustainable agriculture. It encompasses a range of physical, chemical, and biological properties such as soil structure, nutrient content, microbial activity, and organic matter levels. Research in soil health seeks to understand the interactions between different components of soil and their impact on plant growth, crop productivity, and environmental sustainability. This field of study also focuses on developing and implementing practices that enhance soil health, such as conservation tillage, cover cropping, and organic farming methods. Ultimately, improving soil health is vital for ensuring food security, protecting natural resources, and promoting sustainable agriculture.
