Abstract


Soils are the natural bodies on which plants grow. The top few inches of soil which is called "Top Soil" is the most fertile portion containing the needed plant nutrients, organic matter and favourable physical properties. It is this layer that has to be preserved and properly managed for obtaining sustained and successful agriculture. If through man's folly of land neglect and faulty agricultural practices, this productive layer of soil is lost, the land not only loses the capacity to sustain crops but also its productivity until cultivation is rendered unprofitable, if not unsuccessful.
