How do kerala farmers protect the soils fertility?
The way Kerala Farmers protect the soils fertility is by bending over and fcking your mom.
What have farmers in the Amazon river basin to be the cause of reduction in the soils fertility?
Dd
What is sediment rich in that is mostly used by farmers?
Loamy soils and soils with lots of organic matter are the type of soils that are primarily used by farmers who need to plant crops.
How does organic farming improve soil and water quality?
Soil health: Organic farmers prioritize soil health as the foundation of their nutrient management strategy. Healthy soils contain a diverse community of microorganisms that help to break down organic matter and release nutrients for plant uptake. Organic farmers use practices such as crop rotation, cover cropping, and composting to build soil health and fertility.

What is the result after Large organic matter decay after each year's plant growth has been completed?
soils maintain their fertility
Why does compost help preserve the soil?
Compost has organic materials in it that can be used by plants as food. It also improves the texture of soils.
How does soil regain its fertility?
Some soils gradually regain fertility as soil minerals continue to break down, releasing plant nutrients like calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium, etc. Soils also regain fertility with time as plants live, grow, die and then decompose on and in the soil. Humans can help this along by adding organic materials, like compost and manure. Organic matter includes plant nutrients that include nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, magnesium, etc. Direct additions of chemical fertilizers will also increase a soil's fertility, of course.
What are soils properties?
water absorption, color, texture, and fertility
What have farmers in the Amazon River Basin found to be the cause of reductions in the soils fertility?
Farmers in the Amazon River Basin have blamed mining for the cause of reduction in soil fertility. This part of the river once had large rain forests that were very fertile, if left alone. When the rain forest was cleared of vegetation it took all the nutrients from the soil with it.
What are the differences between soil fertility and soil productivity?
The difference between soil fertility and soil productivity is that soil fertility involves the soils and fertilizing them per the types of plants, crops, and soils, being used. The soil productivity has to do with the drainage of the soils, the amounts and types of fertilizers, and the progress of the plants and crops due to fertilization.
How can soils with poor water retention properties be improved?
In order to make a soil retain more water, you have to add a substance to it that retains more water. Typically this is done by adding organic matter, though in some situations clay can be added. The addition of composted organic matter increases the water holding capacity of soils, as well as increasing soil fertility.
