Soil Restoration for Sustainable Agriculture-A review

Abstract Soil the main factor of nature, which regulates the various cycles, responsible for the generation of plants and various lives on earth, and remove the contaminants. It provides the various nutrients to developing plants, habitats, and fundamental aspect for the food chain. There are numerous minerals and nutrients, which is the main requirement of plants, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, are the role compound of the soil. The total effects of human activities and natural processes as deforestation, terrific grazing, and population through diverse sectors are some of the primary reasons for the degradation of soil. These inappropriate activities affects soil structure through erosion, depletion in nitrogen content, salinization, compaction of soil, which damage the better qualities of soil and does not support the plant life and also harm other ecological processes and degrade soil health and productivity. The main objective of soil restoration is to improve the soil structure, nutrition contents through natural and application of technological approaches. The main strategies are to increase soil organic matter, porosity or proper aeration of soil and improve water-holding capacity of soil, which benefited to the high productivity and high yield. The methods and procedures that are crucial for improving the fertility, restoration, and condition of the soil were the main emphasis of the current study. The necessary procedures required for the understanding of the restoration of soil to balance the whole ecosystem is the main aspect of this research paper.
