Abstract:
Soil
biota plays an important role in soil formation, soil development, organic
matter decomposition and in soil structure formation.On decomposition of
organic matter they free up nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus which are
primarily nutrients for plants in crops field. Biochemical activities of soil
organisms help in cycling of various nutrients in soil, improve physicochemical
properties of soil, water regime and hummus availability. They are acting as a
driving agent within food webs for releasing, transformation, relocation and storage
of elements throughout the ecosystem by several biological activities.
Qualitative
research approach has applied in study on the effect of soil biota on
physicochemical properties of soil.In this research paper primary and secondary
data has collected by different sources vizsubjective opinions, real-time field
observations, already existing written materials such research articles,
literature review , textual data etc. has been
collected, analysed and reviewed.
This
paper, briefly highlighted some of the biological functions of soil biota,
there interaction, effect and importance to improve soil physicochemical
properties under sustainable soil management activities in agricultural production.
This study would play an important role to establish natural farming,
sustainable agriculture practice, food
quality and soil environmental health, at global aspects.
Keywords: Soil biota,Soil physicochemical properties, Soil organic matter ,
Nitrogen fixation, Soil biodiversity.
