![]() ![]() ![]() soil is the base for almost every form of life on earth. In an urban concrete area they regard soil as a dirt but for agriculturist soil is gold that helps him grow food and feed the hungry world. Different people have their own form of defination for soil. soil is both living and non living body..It living because it is home to several microorganism that benifit the soil.soil may be: 1.sand 2.slit or 3.clay we need to take care of our soil.we need to remove unnecessary weed from the soil,we need to maintin the cover crop in bare land.in deserted area we need to do the plantation.while doing the cultural operation we shouldnot disturb the soil much.Healthy soil means healthy crops and in turn healthy us.I humbly request you all to love the soil.plant something in your kitchen garden on roof top and grow something healthy to eat yourself. haphazard use of chemical fertilizer degrade the quality of soil and kill its microbes. organic fertilizer like farmyard manure,green manure,vermicompostcover crop add essential nutrients to soil and enrich soil with all essential macro and micro nutrients. soil stucture is also made nice and cation exchange capacity of soil is improved, and water absorption is also enhanced by use of organic manures and fertilizers.Today fruits and vegetables are drenched in chemicals.they donot wait for waiting period and supply to market. proper irrigation along with application of manure of organic soil is need of today.. As an agriculture student ,I love being in the field.I love the smell of soil.some day I will develop technique to contribute to reduce global food insecurity.growing more food from limited space to feed those hungry 900 million people is challenge of today.
