fertile soil may not productive?

Answer 1

Yes, soils may be fertile without being productive.

This can happen when soil is misused or neglected or when moisture, temperature, and other environmental factors are out of balance for maximum productive growth.

When there isn't enough texture in the soil because of lack of sufficient organic matter (like compost) plants may suffer. For example, if the soil has too much clay, very little water or nutrients penetrates to lower levels, & also... the lack of good drainage causes the pooling of water that can kill the plants by drowning them. In sandy soils it is also necessary to add organic matter to increase its water and nutrient-holding capacities.

"Soils may be fertile without being productive. Some desert soils have an exceedingly high natural fertility but must be irrigated to render them capable of producing crops.
A fertile soil can be productive only when moisture, temperature, and other environmental factors are in good balance. The aim of soil management must be to make maximum use of the productive capacity of the soil."

Good Luck! Hope this is helpful.

P.S. Why the thumbs down?? :(

Answer 2

as long because of the fact the soil floor is broken to plant flowers there will be erosion and depletion. easy how you may shrink erosion and depletion could be to plant flowers ideal to our environment fairly than over fertilizing and irrigating in a area too dry to be usable, or rotating flowers so as that nutrition utilized with the help of one crop are restored with the help of yet another. a thank you to press this difficulty could be to shrink crop subsidies so as that fewer farmers (or considerable companies) could plant in marginal factors.

Answer 3

That question makes no sense, is English your first language?
