Abstract

Plant-soil interactions are crucial to the establishment of crop productivity, soil well-being, and environmental stewardship. These interactions involve intricate biological, chemical, and physical processes that determine nutrient cycling, soil structure, and plant growth. Better understanding of these interactions is critical in the development of sustainable crop production strategies that maximize use of resources, improve soil fertility, and minimize environmental effects. This review explores the complex interactions between plant-soil relations, with particular focus on the functions of soil microbiomes, nutrient cycling, and sustainable agricultural management. It also assesses the effects of these interactions on crop yields, environmental well-being, and climatic resilience.
