Addition of clay based soil ameliorants to light textured soils to reduce nutrient loss and increase crop productivity

Productivity decline occurs in many agronomic systems due to loss of soil organic matter and a consequent decline in soil fertility. This is pronounced in light textured soils, which even in their pristine state can have low levels of fertility. High temperatures and leaching conditions in tropical...
