How does soil lose its fertility?and how can this be prevented?

Soil fertility is an important index to  soil fertility. It is the ability to whether to provide various nutrients for crop growth.And  as the basis material for the natural resources and agricultural means of production.

A fertile soil has the following properties:

• The ability to supply essential plant nutrients and water in adequate amounts and proportions for plant growth and reproduction;
• The absence of toxic substances which may inhibit plant growth.

The following properties contribute to soil fertility in most situations:

• Sufficient soil depth for adequate root growth and water retention;
• Good internal drainage, allowing sufficient aeration for optimal root growth (although some plants, such as rice, tolerate waterlogging);
• Topsoil with sufficient soil organic matter for healthy soil structure and soil moisture retention;
• Soil pH in the range 5.5 to 7.0 (suitable for most plants but some prefer or tolerate more acid or alkaline conditions);
• Adequate concentrations of essential plant nutrients in plant-available forms;
• Presence of a range of microorganisms that support plant growth.

In lands used for agriculture and other human activities, maintenance of soil fertility typically requires the use of soil conservation practices. This is because soil erosion and other forms of soil degradation generally result in a decline in quality with respect to one or more of the aspects indicated above.

I would recommend you to know about cropping fertilizer machine, it is the most advanced and world class blending facility which is researched and developed by beidou based on the actual needs of fertilizer manufactures as well as years of experience in field use of equipment.It is mainly used in the NPK granular fertilizer batching, blending and packaing.
