The 2nd Edition of the Plant Science and Molecular Biology World Conference will explore the importance of soil science in agriculture, environmental quality, and product safety. Soil science helps farmers understand how different soils react to fertilizers, tillage, and crop rotation, enabling them to make informed decisions. It also supports industries like construction, drilling, and forestry. By linking plants and molecular biology, soil science improves crop productivity, nutrient management, and sustainable farming practices.
Main Branches of Soil Science:
Soil Physics
Soil Chemistry
Soil Biology
Soil Fertility
Soil Conservation
Pedology
Significance of Soil Science:
Agriculture & Food Security: Important to the management of soil fertility towards better crop production and food security.
Environmental Protection: Prevents erosion, pollution, and degradation, protecting ecosystems.
Sustainable Farming: Promotes practices that enhance soil health and reduce environmental impact.
Water Management: Improves water retention, drainage, and filtration to be used effectively in agriculture.
Climate Change Mitigation: Manages the soil as a carbon sink to mitigate climate change impacts.
