SOIL MANAGEMENT OPTIONS FOR IMPROVING PHYSICAL ATMOSPHERE FOR SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE PRODUCTION: A REVIEW
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 57
Abstract
Sustainability is the widely use to describes ability of a system. It depends to the large extent on the maintenance or improvement in the soil quality and health. Soil quality is conceptualized as the foremost linkage between the strategies of soil conservation management techniques and achievement of the major aims for sustainable agriculture. The sustainable agriculture systems unless for improving the soil quality indicator viz. physical characteristics. Soil quality is the ability of a situation soil to function, within natural or managed ecosystem boundaries, to sustain the plant and animal community to improvement water and air quality and support human health and surroundings. The major problem in crop production at higher level to meet the increasing demands for the food, fiber and fruit quality attributes for increasing population day by day. The restricted sources land and water resources are the input constituent of Indian farmings. The most favourable the genetic yield potential of a crop cannot be realized even when all the other requirements are fulfilled. In the soil for physical quality indicator are enhanced by different technologies like optimal uses of minimum or conservation tillage practices and organic and inorganic mulching could favorably modify the soil physical parameters like bulk density, porosity, aeration, soil moisture, temperature, soil aggregation, water retention properties and water transmission properties and soil processes like evaporation, infiltration, runoff and soil loss for better crop growth and yield. The balance /optimum dose of manure and fertilizer for increasing the soil fertility and buildup carbon for sustainable agriculture crop production. Hence there is need to improvement of sustainable soil health management through these eco-friendly shall lead to efficient use of inputs and help in sustaining farming systems for agricultural crop production at higher level to meet the demand in humans and animals community.
