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
