How to improve soil aeration

Increase the use of organic fertilizer

Adding organic fertilizer can increase the organic matter content in the soil. Soil with high organic matter content, loose texture and good air permeability is called "sponge field" by farmers. Crops grown in this soil have high yields. Increasing the organic matter content can also increase the activity of soil microorganisms. Microorganisms can loosen the soil and facilitate the growth of plant roots.

Reasonable watering

Reasonable watering can effectively protect the soil. Traditional watering methods can easily cause soil erosion and compaction. If large amounts of water are used for flooding, the air in the soil will be squeezed out, destroying the soil's aggregate structure and reducing the soil's ability to retain water and fertilizer. Drip irrigation can protect the soil, making it looser and more breathable.

Diligent hoeing

After the plants are planted, frequent hoeing can increase the permeability of the soil and facilitate the growth of the plant's roots.

Heavy application of microbial fertilizer

Reapplication of microbial fertilizers can increase the activity of microorganisms. After long-term cultivation, harmful microorganisms will accumulate in the soil and beneficial microorganisms will decrease. Beneficial microorganisms can not only improve the soil and increase soil permeability, but also improve soil fertility and inhibit plant root diseases.
