Abstract

Thus one can define soil quality as a set of physical, chemical and biological properties of the surface layer of the Earth’s crust that affects agriculture production. In this study, some of the factors which are related to soil quality include pH, texture, organic matter content, nutrient availability and microbial activity that affect crop germination as well as yield. It looks at the way in which the soil factors influence plant growth and development, distribution of resources in agriculture and the sustainability of agriculture. This knowledge is important to enable proper management of the soils, improvements of the soil and in turn improvement of agricultural productivity. The knowledge of these parameters is thus important as it provides direction when it comes to management of our soils. The paper also explores physical, chemical as well as structural attributes of the soil and its connection to crop productivity with an aim of deepening understanding of soil treatments, soil protecting practices and better sustainable farming practices for soil. This article shows how in order to obtain long-term sustainability and food security in the years to come the use of integrated soil management should be initiated.

Keywords: Soil quality, agricultural productivity, soil pH, organic matter, nutrient availability, soil texture, microbial activity, soil management, crop growth, sustainable agriculture.
