Overview
Soil fertility is the capacity of a soil to supply the nutrients, water, and conditions that plants need to grow and produce well. A fertile soil provides essential nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in adequate and balanced amounts, maintains a suitable pH, holds water and air, and supports the biological activity of soil organisms that cycle nutrients and build soil structure. Maintaining fertility is central to productive and sustainable agriculture, and it is managed through practices such as fertilization, the addition of organic matter and compost, crop rotation, and soil testing to match inputs to a soil's actual needs. Research within this journal's scope on agronomy examines soil fertility extensively, including the dynamics of soil fertility under different farming systems, the use of soil testing and soil health cards to guide fertilizer recommendations, the response of crops such as sorghum and sugar beet to organic and inorganic fertilizers, and the monitoring of organic and symbiotic fertilization using rapid spectroscopic methods. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to soil fertility and the nutrient management that sustains crop production.
