Healthy soil is rich in organic content and packed with beneficial microorganisms. Its good structure allows enough water and airflow and supports strong plant growth.
Reducing tillage helps preserve soil structure, reduces erosion, and preserve organic matter—all of which support the growth of healthy soil organisms and plant roots.
Limit the use of heavy machinery and traffic, increase water infiltration, and increase root penetration. Also, a healthy soil ecosystem should be developed to prevent soil compaction.
Cover crops prevent soil erosion, improve soil structure, and provide organic matter. They also promote beneficial microbes, which enhance soil health and fertility.
Diverse crop rotation is necessary for improved soil health and agricultural sustainability. They optimize soil nutrient balance, break insect cycles, and strengthen soil structure.
Adding organic matter such as compost, manure, or other organic matter improves soil health. These help increase soil organic content, nutrient availability, and encourage beneficial microbial activity.
