Cultivating Sustainability: Organic Treatments and Soil Transformation in Udaipur District

Abstract

Soil reclamation is a vital practice for restoring degraded or contaminated soils to support sustainable agriculture and land management. This article highlights the significance of soil reclamation in mitigating land degradation issues, such as erosion, pollution and biodiversity loss. Organic amendments, including biofertilizers, are essential components of this reclamation process, contributing to increased soil health and productivity in an environmentally friendly and sustainable manner. The article investigates the impact of organic treatments on soil physical properties in the Udaipur District, emphasizing their role in improving soil texture, structure, water-holding capacity and microbial diversity. The application of organic matter, such as crop residues, manure, compost and biochar, significantly enhances soil biological activity and nutrient cycling. Moreover, these organic additives effectively reduce soil compaction, enhance stability and improve erosion control, while increasing soil porosity to support plant growth and root development.
