Soil is one of the most important factors that affect crop growth. Crops require nutrients mainly for their living, healthy growth and higher yield. Soil that has a high capability to supply nutrients to the crops is called fertile soil.

The productivity and performance of the soil mainly depend upon:
$\bullet$ soil fertility
$\bullet$ water supply
$\bullet$ land-slope
$\bullet$ depth to the water table
$\bullet$ climate
$\bullet$ cultivation
