Hey!!
Soil fertility refers to the ability of a soil to sustain agricultural plant growth, i.e. to provide plant habitat and result in sustained and consistent yields of high quality. A fertile soil has the following properties:
● The ability to supply essential plant nutrients and water in adequate amounts and proportions for plant growth and reproduction; and
● The absence of toxic substances which may inhibit plant growth.
The following properties contribute to soil fertility in most situations:
● Sufficient soil depth for adequate root growth and water retention;
● Good internal drainage, allowing sufficient aeration for optimal root growth (although some plants, such as rice, tolerate waterlogging);
● Topsoil with sufficient soil organic matterfor healthy soil structure and soil moistureretention;
● Soil pH in the range 5.5 to 7.0 (suitable for most plants but some prefer or tolerate more acid or alkaline conditions);
● Adequate concentrations of essential plant nutrients in plant-available forms;
● Presence of a range of microorganismsthat support plant growth.
