Diverse Agro-Climatic Zone Impacts the Soil’s Nutrient Content and the Fertility Condition of Odisha’s Agricultural Diversity

As the greatest repository of carbon on the planet’s surface, soil contains twice as much of the element as the atmosphere and twoAgro-Climatic Zone to three times more than all living things combined. A living, breathing natural object comprises solids, liquids, and gases in the soil. It acts as a home and food source for all living things, has water-filtering qualities, recycles waste, and may be used as a building material. However, our main focus will be on soil nutrition because of its vital functions in retaining water and nutrients for plant growthPlant growth while also giving plants structural stability. Odisha’s tropical climate, deltaic and coastal areas, and geological development all contribute to the production of various soil types. In Odisha, eight major soil types may be divided into groups: red, red, yellow, black, laterite, deltaic alluvial, coastal saline, brown forest, and mixed red and black. This chapter includes a brief overview of Odisha’s soil nutrition, additional readily available geomaterials, common natural risks, the use of soils in various applications, the state-built structures, and a case study of soil data collected from several districts. This chapter’s material also addresses soil healthSoil health and its application, giving readers a comprehensive overview of soil functionality and the state of soil conservation in Odisha. The scientific advancements, present knowledge, and outlook for future soil nutrient management practices in the agriculture industry are highlighted in this paper. The biological, chemical, and physical characteristics of soil critical to long-term, sustainable agricultural productivity with little negative environmental effect in various sections of Odisha are covered in this book chapter.
