soil losses

Continuous addition of fertilizers without any regard to its dosage, balance between nutrients and requirement of crops has caused loss of fertility - although fertilizers are supplied to improve the nutrient status of soil. Soil has been rendered by modern method of ..

Fertile soil supports vegetation. Loss of fertility results in loss of vegetation and this exposes the land to erosion. Fertility of soil can be increased by addition of natural and synthetic fertilizer..

Soil Ecological Imbalance - Soil ecology is the study of life in soil in harmony with abiotic factors like air, soil particles, carbonaceous materials etc. In its natural condition, soil has its own equilibrium featured by delicate balance between m..

When the soil gets dry, soil solution becomes more concentrated and the rate of absorption by cells decreases. This leads to reduction in transpiration and stomata close quickly to keep the water loss to minim..

Constant use of the soil leads to the loss of its important nutrients particularly nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium and thus the soil loses its fertility. For the healthy growth of the plant these deficiencies in the soil have to be replenished with the use..

Control of land loss and soil erosion can be attempted through restoring forest and grass cover to check wastelands, soil erosion and floods. Crop rotation or mixed cropping can improve the fertility of the lan..

Fire has important effects on the environment. Fire removes plant cover, burns litter on the soil surface and causes loss of nutrients. Due to forest fires a variety of animals groups di..

The rate of transpiration is affected by many factors such as light, temperature, availability of soil water and atmospheric humidity. The plants also show adaptations to reduce transpiration and thereby reduce water loss. For example: Desert plants may not have leaves (stem has..

(based on soil pH, available water, temperature). As there are large number of varying types of soils in varying climatic situations being used to grow varieties of crops with differing abilities to make use available nutrients, the expressions of crops in terms of their yield p..
