Soil composition plays a critical role in plant growth. It encompasses the minerals, organic matter, air, and water present in the soil, all of which support plant development. Different plants have varying tolerance and requirements for specific soil characteristics, such as pH, nutrient availability, and texture. A rich soil composition enhances the availability of essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, which are crucial for photosynthesis and overall vigor of plants, directly influencing crop yield and ecosystem health.
