    Abstract

    Soil plays a central role in plant production and the environment. Organic growers depend on the soil’s natural richness and resistance to disease. In order to foster these essential qualities, farmers and researchers are looking at ways to stimulate soil life, optimise soil structure and close nutrient cycles
