Managing Soil Health for Maximising Crop Productivity

Soil is the natural substrate for plant growth, and it is uncertain whether soilless agriculture will ever be a cost-effective alternative for the production of the majority of the food and fiber needed. For the foreseeable future, the world will continue to rely on soil for agricultural purposes, making it crucial to maintain the health of the soil. The book Managing Soil Health for Maximising Crop Productivity comprises ten chapters and includes a bibliography. It provides an overview of the role of cover crops, mulching, and conservation tillage as agricultural practices that can help reduce soil erosion. This compilation serves as a comprehensive guide and ready reference for individuals involved in teaching soil science, agronomy, environmental science, policy planning, students, and farmers in general.
