T1B Soil Biome: Drip Power For Biotic and Abiotic Stress

In today’s world soil degradation and loss of fertility have become major issues for sustainable farming across the globe. Traditional farming methods like monoculture and over-reliance on chemical fertilizer and pesticides have led to soil degradation and pest resistance, reducing productivity. The increase in natural disasters, such as droughts and floods has further made sustainable agriculture a challenge. Deforestation and land use changes, can cause soil erosion and reduce its fertility. Limited access to water for irrigation or overuse of water for irrigation started have created problems. Due to the above factor, farmers have started overuse of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, which has damaged soil structure and reduced fertility.

To improve soil quality and maintain its productivity, it is important to adopt sustainable land use practices, such as crop rotation, conservation tillage, and the use of cover crops. Additionally, reducing or eliminating the use of harmful chemicals and promoting the use of organic matter and compost can also help to improve soil health.
