Soil organic matter (SOM) plays a vital role in maintaining soil fertility, structure, and water retention capacity. Managing SOM effectively is essential for promoting sustainable farming and horticulture practices. It enhances soil's ability to store nutrients and water, supports beneficial microbial activity, and improves plant growth. Farmers and horticulturists manage SOM by incorporating organic materials such as compost, cover crops, and crop residues into the soil. These practices help improve soil health, increase carbon sequestration, and reduce the need for synthetic fertilizers. Proper SOM management is also crucial in combating soil erosion and promoting long-term soil productivity, contributing to more resilient agricultural systems.
