Hello everyone On this occasion I want to participate in a contest held by @hive-118902 about Basic Agricultural Knowledge #9
this is my work
✅ What are the types of soil and their characteristics
clay This soil has a fine texture, is dense and is difficult for water to penetrate because its pores are small when wet. This soil is sticky but becomes hard when dry. The mineral content is high so it is very fertile
peat soil This soil is rich in organic matter from plants that are submerged in water. The texture is soft and has a low pH
alluvial soil This soil is formed from mud deposits in the lowlands or along rivers, the color varies depending on the constituent materials
✅ Explain the importance of soil for agriculture?
soil is one of the main elements in agriculture here are the reasons why soil is very important
soil as a medium for plant growth soil provides a place for plant roots to develop supports the stem and ensures that the plant remains sturdy
source of soil nutrients contains various minerals and nutrients needed by plants to grow such as nitrogen phosphorus and potassium
stores and provides water soil absorbs rainwater and stores it for use by plants the ability of soil to influence agricultural productivity the type and quality of soil greatly determines the type of plant that can be planted and its harvest fertile soil produces high agricultural productivity
soil helps regulate temperature and humidity around plants creates optimal conditions for growth
soil becomes a place for various microorganisms to play a role in the decomposition of organic matter and the nutrient cycle understanding water is very important for plant growth soil becomes a place for various microorganisms to play a role in the decomposition of organic matter and the nutrient cycle
by understanding the type of soil and its management farmers can increase the efficiency and sustainability of agriculture so that it can support food security
that's all I can share on this occasion thank you for those who have read hopefully useful I also invite friends
