Abstract:
This research project aims to study the effects of different soil management practices on soil health and crop productivity. Soil health plays a crucial role in sustaining agricultural productivity and environmental sustainability. Various soil management practices, such as organic amendments, cover cropping, conservation tillage, and crop rotation, can influence soil properties, nutrient availability, microbial activity, and overall soil health. The study will involve field experiments, soil sampling, laboratory analysis, and crop performance evaluations to assess the impact of different soil management practices on soil health indicators and crop productivity. The findings of this research will contribute to the development of sustainable soil management strategies for improved crop production.
