TL;DR: In this paper, the main causes of soil degradation in different agro-climatic regions are summarized and potential solutions to improve soil health in different regions using a variety of conservation agricultural approaches.

TL;DR: In this article, a large scale spatial variability assessment using grid sampling method is a feasible option to identify critical nutrient deficiency zones, which can serve as an effective tool for farm managers and policy makers in site specific nutrient management.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the response of crops to K and found that the potassium availability to plants is determined by the rate of change in the dynamic equilibrium between different forms of K in the soil which in turn is controlled by the mineral make up, rate of weathering and exchange properties of the soil.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed past and current soil conservation programs in India to better understand how production-, environmental-, social-, economic, and policy-related issues have affected soil and water conservation and the incentives needed to address the most critical problems.

TL;DR: The use of plasticulture in the production of crops helps to mitigate the extreme fluctuations in weather, especially temperature, rainfall and wind as discussed by the authors, which is defined as the use of plastics in agriculture.
