Abstract

Soil plays a vital role in supporting the growth of crops and other vegetation, maintaining the environment, and acting as source and sink for atmospheric gases. Soils are natural bodies on which plants grow. The increasing population, industrialization, and changing lifestyle have negative effect on soil and are responsible for soil pollution. Good soil and climate for more crop production are valuable things for any nation. Soil amendments can be used to cost-effectively reduce the bio-availability and mobility of toxic metals in contaminated soils. Organic amendments considerably affect nutrient balance and interaction mobility of nutrients by influencing the chemical, physical, and biological environment in soils. Here in this chapter, the author has discussed the soil, its profile and type, analysis, and benefits on rock phosphate amendments.
