A REVIEW ON "SOIL CONDITION AND PLANT GROWTH

Description

Abstract (English)

Soil health plays a crucial role in determining the growth and productivity of plants. This
review paper aims to explore the relationship between soil health and plant growth by
examining key factors that influence soil health and their impact on various aspects of plant
growth. The paper highlights the importance of soil organic matter, nutrient availability, soil
pH, soil structure, and soil microbial communities in promoting optimal plant growth.
Furthermore, it discusses the effects of soil degradation, erosion, and pollution on soil health
and plant growth. The review also provides insights into sustainable soil management
practices that can enhance soil health and subsequently improve plant growth. Overall, a
comprehensive understanding of the interconnections between soil health and plant growth is
essential for sustainable agricultural practices and ecosystem resilience. In terms of the ability
of the roots to absorb water and nutrients, plants can react to soil conditions in ways that are
difficult to describe. Especially if the plants' water supply is in jeopardy, roots that detect
tough soil conditions may send inhibitory signals to the shoots that harden the plants against
the effects of a deteriorating or constricting environment. This tendency is typically
understood to be a feedforward reaction to the soil becoming too dry or too hard, or to the
amount of accessible soil being extremely little, as with bonsai plants, or to the roots getting
infected with diseases. Uncertainty surrounds the importance of significant conservative
reactions that can also be induced by excessively soft soil or dirt where the roots are
compelled to grow in very large pores.
