The Vital Role of Soil Microorganisms in Sustainable Farming
Soil microorganisms are essential for maintaining soil health and fertility. They include bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and other microbes that perform vital functions such as decomposing organic matter, cycling nutrients, and forming symbiotic relationships with plants. These activities enhance nutrient availability, improve soil structure, and promote plant growth. By fostering a diverse microbial community, farmers can achieve more resilient crops and sustainable farming practices.
