How to effectively solve the problem of soil compaction?

Soil compaction refers to the dense layer formed by the clay in the soil after drying or compaction, which hinders the penetration of water, air and roots. Soil compaction usually causes problems such as soil consolidation, poor drainage, and root hypoxia, which affect crop growth and development.

What method can be used to make the soil loose and fertile?

First of all, we need to understand why the soil is hard and compacted?

This is because the humus and beneficial microorganisms in the soil gradually decrease, which leads to soil compaction, because the aggregate structure in the soil depends on the activity of microorganisms, and microorganisms rely on humus to reproduce and survive. If there is no humus, how can there be microorganisms? ? This leads to a vicious cycle where the soil quality gets worse and worse.

The content of humus in the soil is a key indicator to determine the quality of the soil, because humus is not only rich in nutrients, but also a necessary substance for the survival and activity of beneficial microorganisms. These substances are also the necessary conditions for the growth and development of crop roots .

So how to improve compacted soil?

1. Digging

In order to improve the soil structure, the soil should be plowed every spring or autumn. This process usually involves turning the soil over again, so as to keep the soil alive, otherwise the soil will easily harden and die. Therefore, plowing is one of the necessary steps to improve soil structure.

2. Add humus

To improve the soil structure, humus can be added before digging. These substances can be mixed with the soil and decomposed to form high-quality humus. This is like the humus in the forest. Through the decay and decomposition of leaves, weeds, etc., high-quality soil is gradually formed.

3. Using mineral source potassium fulvate

Potassium fulvate from mineral sources can increase the aggregate structure of the soil, loosen the soil, improve the air permeability of the soil, facilitate the vertical and horizontal extension of the root system, and quickly solve the problem of soil compaction. At the same time, mineral-sourced potassium fulvate can also promote soil microbial activities, increase soil organic matter content, improve soil fertility and water holding capacity, thereby improving crop yield and quality.
