OverviewThe soil is more than just a substrate that anchors crops in place. An ecologically balanced soil system is essential for maintaining healthy crops. 'Hands-On Agronomy' is a comprehensive manual on effective soil management. The function of micronutrients, earthworms, soil drainage, tilth, soil structure, and organic matter is explained in thorough detail. Kinsey demonstrates that working with the soil produces healthier crops with a higher yield. To that end, he provides an understanding of eco-agricultre as a viable enterprise that is both naturally and commercially sustainable. This work offers advice that is both highly valuable and applicable to the farmer of any level and promotes an ecological understanding of the farm from the ground up.
