This study explores agronomic management (AM) effects on soil parameters under diverse conditions. Investigating tillage practices (TP), nutrient (NM), crop rotation (CR), organic matter (OM), irrigation (IM), and mulching (MS), it aims to reveal impacts productivity, availability, microbial activity, overall health. Varied TP affect quality through compaction, porosity, erosion risk. Proper NM is vital for cycling, preventing imbalances acidification. CR disrupts pest cycles, reduces weed pressure, boosts recycling. OM enhances by influencing carbon, pH, fertility, water retention. Optimizing IM regulates content without inducing waterlogging.
