Description:
This video demonstrates the importance of soil health management as the foundation of Plant Health Management. Keeping the ground cover 24/7 is important in 1) reducing soil erosion thus maintaining soils for crop roots to grow, 2) preventing water runoff and pollution, 3) maximizing water infiltration to conserve water and mitigate drought problems in crop production, and 4) sustaining soil organisms that are crucial for soil nutrient cycling.
