Abstract

This article reviews the effects of various integrated forming systems on soil processes such as evaporation, infiltration, run-off, and soil loss, as well as physical properties such as bulk density, porosity, aeration, soil moisture, soil aggregation, and water retention and transmission properties. The chemical and biological features of soil include the total microbial population and the availability of major, secondary, and micronutrients. The goal is to improve crop growth and crop yield. We suggest that adopting the appropriate IFS models will significantly improve the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the soil, reduce the cost of cultivation, and increase crop yield.

Keywords

IFS Models, Biological Properties, Chemical properties, Physical properties

Conclusion

It can be concluded that IFS is also an eco-friendly approach in which the waste of one enterprise becomes the input of another, thus making efficient use of resources. It helps in improving the health of the soil, such as its physical, chemical, and biological properties, increases water use efficiency, and maintains water quality. This system minimizes the use of harmful chemical fertilizers, weed killers, and pesticides, thus safeguarding the environment from their adverse effects.
