Soil fertility alludes to the capacity of soil to support horticultural plant development, for example to give plant natural surroundings and result in supported and predictable yields of high quality. A prolific soil has the accompanying properties.
The ability to supply essential plant nutrients and water in adequate amounts and proportions for plant growth and reproduction; and
The absence of toxic substances which may inhibit plant growth
The accompanying properties add to soil fertility by and large
• Adequate soil profundity for satisfactory root development and water maintenance
• Great inward waste, permitting adequate air circulation for ideal root development (albeit a few plants, like rice, endure waterlogging);
• Dirt or skyline O is with adequate soil natural matter for solid soil construction and soil dampness maintenance;
• Soil pH in the reach 5.5 to 7.0 (reasonable for most plants however some like or endure more corrosive or basic conditions);
• Sufficient groupings of fundamental plant supplements in plant-accessible structures;
• Presence of a scope of microorganisms that help plant development.
In lands utilized for horticulture and other human exercises, support of soil fruitfulness ordinarily requires the utilization of soil protection rehearses. This is on the grounds that dirt disintegration and different types of soil debasement for the most part bring about a decrease in quality regarding at least one of the viewpoints showed previously.

Parent materials
The property of soil relies upon the property of parent rock. On the off chance that the parent rock contains more supplement, the dirt created from rock contains more supplement. The dirt created from calcareous stone contains more phosphorus than the dirt which is created from rock. The dirt created from corrosive volcanic stone (for example quartz) and essential volcanic stone (for example norite and dolerite and so on) become sandy and clayey in nature individually.
Topography
The richness of soil is additionally reliant upon the geology of soil. Filtering and disintegration is generally normal in messy land. Because of which, the ripeness of that dirt turns out to be low. Then again, the fruitfulness of level and turns out to be more, on the grounds that the supplement of high land in solvent structure kept in the level land, extraordinarily in marsh.
Inherent capacity of soil to supply plant nutrients
The supplement substance of a dirt shift as indicated by the idea of soil. The dirt which contains a lot of amount of supplement turns out to be richer. In an examination in focal ranch, Coimbatore, it was tracked down that the nursery soil of nine inches profundity contains 1400 lb (630 kg) potassium per section of land. So the fruitfulness of soil relies upon the intrinsic limit of soil.
Climate and vegetation
Plant realm is firmly related with environment. Precipitation and temperature affects soil richness. In weighty precipitation regions, the supplements are lost by draining. Because of which the fruitfulness of that dirt turns out to be low. Other than these, the upper layer is dissolved which diminishes the dirt ripeness. Natural matter is oxidized in high temperature. For this, the ripeness of soil in calm district turns out to be low.
Micro-organism and soil fertility
Different sorts of living being live in the dirt, the dirt living being carries the inaccessible supplements into the accessible structure. Various kinds of microscopic organisms, parasites and green growth live in the dirt. The nitrifying microscopic organisms fix nitrogen from air. Dr. P.K. De, in an examination showed that blue green growth fix 50 kg nitrogen for each hectare in the paddy land having great measure of water.
Availability of plant nutrients
The supplement of the dirt should be in the accessible type of plant. The plant don’t assimilate supplement on the off chance that it’s anything but solvent in water. Super phosphate applied in corrosive soil is changed over into iron or aluminium phosphate which isn’t solvent in water. Subsequently, phosphate stays in the dirt in inaccessible structure to plant.
Cropping system
Development of same harvest quite a long time after year in a similar field diminishes the fruitfulness of soil. There are different kinds of trimming framework in India, for example, mono-editing, blended editing, transfer editing and yield pivot. Yield revolution builds the fruitfulness of soil.
Soil erosion
Disintegration is the actual expulsion of top soil by water and wind. As such it diminishes the richness of soil. Since the supplements staying in upper layer of soil is lost by disintegration and the ripeness of soil diminishes as needs be.
