Abstract
Healthy soil functions as an active biological system that provides many ecosystem functions, such as maintaining water purity and plant farming strength, and redirecting soil nutrient decomposing processes. The fundamental elements of soil health refer to diverse microorganisms along with their functional activity, sustainable agriculture develops directly from these factors. The capability for a crop production system to generate continuous food output without affecting the environment defines agricultural sustainability. Soil health improves through farming practices and tillage practices since these methods boost the number of soil microorganisms and their diverse compositions as well as their total metabolic functionality. This paper examines external factors that regulate rhizosphere microbiota abundance in addition to evaluating the effects of crop management practices on soil health for maintaining sustainable agricultural productivity.
Keywords: Soil Health, Soil Micro-Organisms, Farming Practices, Sustainable Agriculture
