Soil productivity maintenance is a major constraint of tropical agriculture system. Crop cultivation is usually moved between fields to utilize only fertile soils for some years without use of fertilizers. However, this cannot be sustained to meet increased demand of an increasing population. Most tropical soils and forests are deficient in nitrogen and phosphorus nutrients and uptake of these limited quantities of nutrients by plant roots from litter is difficult.

Produktbeschreibung
Soil productivity maintenance is a major constraint of tropical agriculture system. Crop cultivation is usually moved between fields to utilize only fertile soils for some years without use of fertilizers. However, this cannot be sustained to meet increased demand of an increasing population. Most tropical soils and forests are deficient in nitrogen and phosphorus nutrients and uptake of these limited quantities of nutrients by plant roots from litter is difficult. Soil fertility and plant nutrition are essential aspect of cropping system and these include an adequate supply of essential nutrients for soil productivity, plant nutrition and qualitative crop yield. The availability of these nutrients to plant contributes a lot to its growth and yield. Deficiency of mineral elements essential for plant crop is evident in poor yield and yield quality. An adequate supply of mineral elements is of importance in the tropics where the soil is poorly formed and continuous cropping is on the increase. For any sustainable crop production, soil fertility amelioration is essential. Thus, the application of fertilizer for amelioration of soil fertility is an integral part of suitable production.
