- Soil Fertility is the strength or the ability of the soils to provide adequate nutrients to the plants.
- Most of the plant nutrition comes from the organic content.
- A small portion of the nutrition is provided by the inorganic content (the trace elements).
- Organic content of the soils is developed and maintained by the friendly bacteria present in the soils.
- These bacteria digest the agricultural or other organic wastes.
- The degradation products of the organic wastes improve fertility of the soils.
