Soil quality improvement is essential for increasing crop yields and ensuring sustainable farming practices. Methods to enhance soil quality include using organic amendments like compost, manure, or cover crops that increase soil organic matter and microbial diversity. Techniques such as crop rotation help replenish nutrients and prevent soil erosion, while minimizing pest buildup. Soil testing is crucial to identify deficiencies and guide the appropriate use of fertilizers. Additionally, reducing tillage practices preserves soil structure and helps maintain soil fertility. By improving soil structure and nutrient availability, these strategies contribute to better water retention, healthier plants, and higher-quality produce.
