Why Soil Needs Fertilizer by VEEKIAGRO(f): 12:19am On Aug 06, 2022 |
Why does the soil need to be fertilized? For the first time, the usage of fertilizers was encouraged during the initial years of World War l. This gave agriculture a new scope along with automation and intensive cultivation. Due to continuous and intensive usage of the land, numerous forms of soil become fragile, for instance, silty soil formed on Aeolian loess is one third i.e., 33% of the soil cover of France. Silty soils are most commonly used in cultivating various varieties of cereals because silty soil holds a great advantage of being chemically and physically fertile. However, in the occurrence of overuse of the soil, there arises the chance of the soil undergoing a process known as acidification, due to which, crust formation on the surface increases leading to surface erosion. To meet the consumer’s growing need for food, agricultural land must accomplish the harvest of the optimum quality as well as maximum efficiency. For the agricultural harvest to be of a prime quality, the nutrition factor of the plant is extremely important. It has been noted that the type and quantity of various minerals and elements for plant present in the soil affect the quality of the harvest. Permanent agricultural lands lack the desired quantity of nutrients, hence inefficient. Thus, farmers resort to fertilize the soil, eliminate pests and various pathogens, irrigate and utilize various agricultural processes to make the land/soil fertile and suitable for agriculture, in turn improving the quality of the harvest.
