    Study Notes

    Factors Affecting Crop Production

    • Proper proportion of nutrients is essential for successful crop production
    • Soil characteristic that influences nutrient availability to plants is pH level
    • Failure to manage native soil fertility properly leads to soil degradation and reduced crop yields

    Soil Fertility and Crop Yield

    • Low crop yields in the country are often caused by poor soil fertility
    • Soil fertility decline can be caused by various factors, except for soil temperature

    Soil Types and Leaching

    • Sandy soils are more susceptible to leaching, which can lead to nutrient loss

    Increasing Nutrient Availability

    • The supply of available nutrients in soil can be increased through proper fertilization and soil management practices
