The Role of Soil Aggregates in Sustainable Farming Practices
Soil aggregates are essential for healthy, productive soil, enhancing water infiltration, aeration, and nutrient availability. Formed by clusters of soil particles bound by organic matter and microbial activity, they improve soil stability and structure, supporting plant growth. Practices like adding organic matter, reducing tillage, and rotating crops promote strong aggregates while minimizing compaction. Maintain robust soil aggregates to boost productivity and sustainability.
