RE: Steemit Engagement Challenge S6 / W2 - What steps would you take to save the soil?"
Hey Lavanya,
Once again you're with your superb entry. Your thinking and imagination are really appreciative. I am damn sure that if you start following these steps one day we will make our soil again the land of gold.
Crop rotation is a great way to keep the soil healthy. It helps to reduce the buildup of pests and diseases and also helps to improve the structure of the soil.
This is a proven thing that the same crop greatly affects the soil and the nutrients and chemicals uptaken by the same plant cant be available to others.
If our farmers continuously rotate the crops then they can improve the yield, as well as soil, can regenerate the basic essential nutrients.
If farmers give some time to the soil after harvesting the field than the soil can rebuild all the necessary nutrients because nature has self-healing power.
Chemicals like phosphates have an adverse effect on soil and industrialization and domestic use pollute the soil. We should avoid chemicals and replace them with other natural biomass.
I hope you will be the winner of this contest.
Thanks for compliment and your feed back.
