The United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service (Click here<\/a>) has created a series of short videos about the science of soil health. These videos are shown below.<\/strong><\/h5>
Farmers need to understand some soil biology so that they understand how their soil works, and why some traditional farming systems, such as ploughing (tilling) and using chemical fertilisers, herbicides, and pesticides, are not in their financial interests; and why they should be replaced by conservation agriculture techniques, such as cover cropping, intercropping, and mulching.<\/strong><\/h5>
90% of soil functions are carried out by soil micro-organisms, such as bacteria, fungi, protozoa, nematodes, and micro-arthropods. Because farmers often do not know about the soil micro-organisms, they unintentionally and unknowingly destroy the very source of their potential wealth. The knowledge in these videos will enable farmers to understand the roles of various soil microorganisms and how caring for them can increase crop yields, prevent flooding in their fields during rain, reduce soil compaction, and prevent crop diseases and pest attacks.<\/strong><\/h5>
