Animals, plants, humans
Soil is the blessing that nature has given us. The soil, which composts whatever comes and falls within it, only germinates the seed. The trick of turning a mustard-sized seed into a giant can be done with nothing but soil! Whether it is giant forests or small grasshoppers on the streets ... the basis of all growth is mud. The service that the soil heals to all living things, be it animals, plants, humans ... is immense. That is why the mother was worshiped in the soil, the ancestors. It is the result of our failure to have a proper understanding of such special soils ... so many natural disasters happening today. We sow the grains by classifying ourselves as fertile ... infertile ... keeping only the color of the soil in our land. We harvest the produce and get ready for the next harvest. But why is the land, which in the early days yielded yields when sown, is now pinching?
Have you ever thought about this?
This yield loss is the result of us not thinking, 'Is the soil fertile?' The next question that comes to your mind is, 'Does being rich mean being good?' If a person lives a life of luxury with luxury, it means that he is wealthy. If the person is unwell and sick, it means that he is unwell. Whatever the resource ... without the good, one cannot fully enjoy the resource.
Neglected Science
The majority of people think that 'dirt is just dust lying under the feet'. Beyond that, we never develop the basic knowledge of the science, the wonders, and the millions of microbes that are embedded in it. We proudly say, 'Stone, muddy time ... the foremost elder.' It is a sad fact that we do not even know the basics of the soil that is said to have appeared after us, even though what was said for the parable is true. soil is the first of the desires classified as soil, gold, The reason why so many pages of history have been written, written, and will be written in blood ... is this manna. Even kings who wished to rule the soil like this were not interested in research on the soil.
500 years to form an inch of soil
Knowing the nature of the soil and knowing about the plants growing in each soil, the Tamilkudi cultivated and divided the land into five categories by dividing the soil fertility and well-being. Mountain and hilly terrain Kurinji; Field and field-based medicine; Sea and marine space weaving; Tamilkudi subtly classifies the sandy area of the soil as milk. Even though our land is full of soil, only an inch of surface soil is fertile. This one inch of soil takes about 500 to a thousand years, say, researchers. It's a mountain!
Soil that keeps moving
This fertile topsoil on our land, we do not own. The soil is constantly moving through the wind and rain. One centimeter of soil location changes every year. Soil is a non-renewable resource. 20 cm above the ground. Topsoil up to depth. The topsoil in one hectare of land contains 17 species of insects, 600 species of worms, 1,500 species of bacteria, and 3,500 species of fungi. In short, a handful of soils contain more biomass than the world's population. This series is going to change our mindset about soil that has hitherto been the level of ‘dust under the feet and widen your eyes to ‘is there so much stuff in the soil’. Soil formation, soil types, differences in soil fertility and well-being, soil use methods, soil improvement techniques, saline soil conversion techniques, how compost works in the soil, how to reduce climate change, how plants absorb nutrients in the soil ... The purpose of this series is to create a clear understanding of the soil.
If we have complete clarity about the soil in our land, realize the science of 'soil is alive', know the shortcomings of the soil and the methods, and pay respect to the soil ...
Now, the soil is the amulet that yields forever.
International Soil Year! UN concerned!
The United Nations has declared the current year (2015) as the 'International Year of the Soil'. The UN has also declared that 'there is no man without soil', 'soil must be protected to ensure food security, 'sustainable soil management, and 'soil is ... human resources'. Council The purpose of this series is to introduce the basic knowledge of the science, the wonders, and the millions of microbes that are embedded in it, to find out why the land that yielded when it was sown in the early days is now pinching, changing our perception of the soil as 'dust under the feet. This series is going to widen your eyes as to ‘are there so many things in the soil’.
Irrigation depends on the nature of the soil
Soil is not the only medium for growing crops. Beyond that, there are many wonders that it performs in human life. Rain is indeed the only source of water for us. But for mankind to make full use of that rainwater, the soil must be kept in mind. In part, the soil is a cause of drought and flooding. If the rainwater retains the soil, the flood does not work. On the contrary, if the torrential downpour were to continue, the flood would become unstoppable. Similarly if left to drain without retaining rainwater there is no other option but to put a welcome ring to the drought. Irrigation is possible depending on the nature of the soil.
Parcel for the crop
The main function of the soil is to be a necessary medium for the growth of the crop and to parcel the nutrients from the air and soil to the crops. The number of organisms inside is greater than the number of organisms outside the soil. Just as there is air circulation above the earth, the air inside the soil also circulates 'inside out. The role of soil in shaping the basic habitat for human life is enormous. If there is no soil, not only huts ... but also mansions. The synthetic fertilizers we give to the crop are not taken directly by the crop. It is muddy to transport it to the crop. This is what we used to call 'soil fertility. If the soil is good, the 'soil fertility will be good. Soil fertility refers to the taking and transport of fertilizers to the crop, and soil health refers to its physical, chemical, and biological properties.
Three important properties
'Rare is the birth of a rare monitor. Even so, owning one is still beyond the reach of the average person. Is it enough to have only a defective body and the internal organs are not functioning properly ?. It is its chemical properties that inform the working material in the soil. Well, the body is fine too. The internal organs are also healthy. Is this alone enough? Don’t the mind be happy ?. Biological properties make the soil happy and productive. So, soil health is possible only when all three of these properties work well together.
Sand, clay, sediment = soil
Currently, we focus only on chemical properties. It sacrifices other qualities. That is why all the fertilizers we give go to waste. We know the extent of soil fertility by examining the chemical properties of the soil testing stations. Soil is a mixture of sand, loam, and sediment. If the percentage of sand is high, it is sandy soil. If the clay is high, it is clay. If the sediment is high, it is alluvial soil. The soil structure can be known only by the ratio of these three. Just as the building of the house is important for us to live in, so important is the structure of the soil. This is what determines what crops will grow in soil.
Road construction
The strength of a building is determined by the ratio in which we add both cement and sand. The same is true of soil. The structure of the soil is determined by the ratio of these three compounds. Depending on the location of the soil, air and water may enter and stay in each soil. Isn’t there a difference between traveling in a thorny and bushy forest path and traveling in four lanes? Similarly, the path of water and air into the soil depends on the closeness and proportion of the three, sand, loam, and sediment.
