Soils should be in good condition, both physically and chemically, to provide for good growth of plants. Many soils are unsuited for this purpose and should be amended to improve these properties. Soil amendments are the materials added to the soil for the purpose of improving their physical and chemical properties to make them more suitable for plant production.
