Soil Fertility Management for Organic Crops

Author(s): Gaskell, Mark; Smith, Richard; Mitchell, Jeff; Koike, Steven T; Fouche, Calvin; Hartz, Tim; Horwath, William; Jackson, Louise | Abstract: Organic soil fertility management is guided by the philosophy of “feed the soil to feed the plant.” This basic precept is implemented through a series of practices designed to increase soil organic matter, biological activity, and nutrient availability.
