Soil contains a large number of components that can positively or negatively affect crop growth.
Therefore, an experienced gardener knows that it is important to create the necessary conditions for plants.
It is necessary to pay attention not only to the consistency, but also to the condition of the soil, which greatly affects the yield.
Let's pay attention to the advice of the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.
What indicators should be taken into account?
Here are 5 criteria.
- Soil type. This is the main indicator that affects the condition of plants - it is important to look at the ability of the soil to hold its shape, be saturated with moisture, and so on.
- Acidity. The ideal acidity level is pH 5.5-6.5.
- Salinity. Salts have a negative effect on plants and can even harm crops by acting as a poison.
- Moisture capacity. It is important to monitor the soil's ability to absorb and retain moisture.
- Air capacity: The ability of the soil to hold air determines the amount of oxygen the roots will receive.
