soil amendment technologies

Soil amendment technologies involve adding materials or substances to soil to improve its health and fertility. These amendments can include organic options like compost and manure, which boost nutrient content and microbial activity, or inorganic materials such as lime or gypsum that alter pH or structure. Advanced methods may utilize biochar or wearable sensors to monitor and optimize soil conditions. Overall, these technologies help enhance crop growth, increase soil stability, and promote sustainable farming by tailoring soil properties to the needs of the plants.
