The decline of soil fertility in India is a serious problem which means a constant decrease in agricultural production. The pressure of constantly increasing production has, in turn, resulted into a persistent decline in soil fertility, a major challenge that Indian agriculture is currently facing. It is due to increasing pressure on limited agricultural land in India which has resulted in overuse of chemical fertilizers on soil, excessive Ullage, lessening of age – old organic soil revival practices and lack of crop rotation.
Remedial Measures:
1. Use of compost or green manure to make the soil fertile.
2. Use of crop rotation.
3. Leaving the land without sowing for 3 to 4 years.
