TEXT C: SOIL

Soil is the surface layer of the earth on which land plants grow. It is a natural resource that supports plant life. Soil plays a very important role in the life of the world and mankind. It is a highly organized physical, chemical and biological complex.

Soil is a mixture of particles of rock, organic materials, living forms, air and water. All of us depend on it. As a supporter of vegetable life, the soil provides food for animals and people.

The growth and development of agricultural crops depend on the fertility of the soil, continuous supply of water, heat, light and air.

No soil is perfectly fertile. If we want to have high yields of crops we must have a fertile soil. If the soil is poor we must apply fertilizers.

The size of mineral particles of soil is different. Soil contains gravel, sand, silt and clay. Six major texture groups are: “sand”, “sandy loam”, “silt loam”, “loam”, “clay loam” and “clay”. Some good clay and loamy soils are naturally highly fertile. Some light sandy soils are naturally poor. Man uses different soils in different ways. “Good” soil is used for growing crops. Poor soil is used as forest land.

Soils may be of different colours: from white to black, but the most common colours are red, yellow and brown. Dark coloured soils are more productive than light-coloured ones1.

Soils contain almost all chemical elements. Eleven of them are essential for plant growth. The most important are: nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium and sulphur. Plants take them from the soil in large quantity.

Some soils are rich in all kinds of plant food. Some are rich in certain elements but deficient in others. Poor growth and general appearance of the plants show lack of certain elements. Farmers study the soil and apply necessary fertilizers.

The use of fertilizers in proper amount and at the most suitable time may increase yields greatly.
