Innovations in technology for sustainable agriculture

Pavol Findura

The choice of a suitable technology affects the properties of the soil and these have an impact on water retention in nature. Slovak agriculture is focused on high intensification of production and less on sustainable land use in the country. Care and its biodiversity have a great influence on the symbiosis of microorganisms in the soil. Soil provides plants with everything they need, but at the same time the activity of plants and their root system has a direct effect on its structure. Thus, the soil does not produce plants, but the plants create soil. In this work we try to monitor the relationship between different plants, plants and soil and other surrounding natural influences. The aim of this lecture is to acquaint students with basic concepts in the field of sustainable agriculture and preventive methods used to improve soil properties.
