Soil Science and Management
Soil Science and Management is an applied science dedicated to the study of soil as a critical natural resource. This field integrates principles from biology, chemistry, and physics to understand soil formation, classification, and its physical and chemical properties. This knowledge is then applied to develop practical strategies for managing soil health and fertility, primarily to enhance agricultural productivity through practices like fertilization, irrigation, and conservation tillage. Beyond farming, its principles are essential for land reclamation, environmental protection, waste management, and ensuring the stability of foundations in civil engineering, making it a cornerstone for sustainable land use.
