Importance of Soil Quality in Environment Protection [PDF]

, 2007
Soil quality can be characterised by the harmony between it’s physical and biological state and the fertility. From the practical crop production viewpoint, some important contrasting factors of soil quality are: (1) soil looseness – compaction; (2 ...

Soil physical quality influenced by winter plants

Scientia Agraria Paranaensis, 2021
The biomass production by cover plants provides soil protection against erosion and weed control in the winter period, while the effect of cover crops on the parameters of physical soil quality helps in root growth and water storage. The objectives of the present study were to evaluate the influence of winter plants on the physical quality of the soil.
