How can we improve fertility of soil?
add chemical fertilizersadd compostalternate planting of regular crops with legumes, which have symbiotic nitrogen fixing bacteria in their rootslet the ground lie fallow for a couple seasons periodicallyetc.
What type of crop improve soil and soil fertility?
Permanent hay or pasture "crops". Pasture is the most effective way of improving soil and soil fertility because of the animal manure that is incorporated into the soil to help plants grow. But the most important part of improving soil is the way pastures are grazed. Managed Intensive Grazing is the best way to improve soil and soil fertility on a more even distribution of grazing practices.
How can soil lose its fertility?
how soil loosese fertility what is the answer
What does composting do for the soil?
It adds fertility to the soil. It decreases soil fertility. It add parent material to the soil. It destroys the soil.
Why does farmer need artifically to improve soil fertility?
This is an interesting question, but not for the reasons you might think. The issue might be why any farmer might wish to improve the fertility of his soil - the answer to which is obvious: because without action on his or her part, the soil is relatively unproductive, and action to improve the fertility makes the crops grow better. But the question contains two important words: need, and artificially. Dealing with "artificially" first, the word could simply mean to improve the fertility by adding something to it, which could include, for example, straw or manure. But more likely, it means increasing fertility by adding chemicals. Then the answer to the question might be "because the soil is deficient in an important element such as biologically active nitrogen, potassium or phosphorous". The word "need" is interesting because it might suggest that the farmer is forced by some external agency to try to improve soil fertility. The answer to the question might then be "because unless the yield is big enough he will default on his bank loan and the bank will repossess the farm". Or perhaps "because decades of misuse of the soil has reduced its natural fertility to the point where additional chemicals are needed." It's important to frame the question correctly!
Which crop improve soil and soil fertility?
Pulses (legumes,beans,peas etc) enrich soil fertility. They have a symbiotic relationship with bacteria (rhizobia) and these are found in the root nodules of pulses. Members of the Rhizobium family fix nitrogen from the atmosphere to the soil and thus improve soil fertility.
Do legumes reduce the fertility of the soil?
yes it does

What is an advantage of growing legumes?
They have nitrogen fixing bacteria in their root nodules, so the fertility of the soil is improved.
What are legum?
Legumes are plants that can use nitrogen from the air for growth. This nitrogen can be added to the soil to increase soil fertility. Legumes include peas and beans.

Why might farmers plant legumes such as peas to improve the nitrogen levels in the soil?
legumes contain high level of nitrogen which are leeched into the soil. this allows the farmer to then plant crops such as corn that use that nitrogen

How can soil quality be improved?
We can improve the soil quality by using Bio Chemical Products like Bio Growth and Bio Compost. Both are the best products to improve the texture, condition and fertility of the soil.
Why do farmers plow a crop of legumes into the ground rather than harvest it?
They use it to restore soil nitrogen, because it improves the soil structure for better harvests.
Does soil formation affect the fertility of soil?
No, soil formation doesn't affect the fertility of soil but soil looses its fertility by being exhausted.
