Quick Tips For Improving Soil Quality For Crop Improvement

1 Optimum Structure

Your topsoil should always be well-structured if you are serious about improving your soil quality.

This will allow for better water drainage and will also ensure that air moves more freely.

This in turn ensures that crop root development isn't restricted.

2 Covering

Use your crops to cover your soil. This will help to protect it from compaction, erosion and run-off.

Things like leaves, flowers and stalks will all help to shelter your soil from rain, wind and other elements.

Also, residues from manure and crops also help to protect soil and can play a vital part in improving your farm soil quality.

3 Cropping Pattern Adjustment

If there are long distances on your farm with no obstacles in the way, erosion is often increased due to wind and water gathering more speed and power.

However, if you simply adjust some of your cropping patterns and split fields with fences or hedges, this will help preserve your soil and improve the quality of it.
