soil fertilization AmE , also: soil fertilisation BrE

Its technology spans from seed selection and management, soil fertilization and cultivation, to mechanized harvesting.

The first important man-made inorganic compound was ammonium nitrate for soil fertilization through the Haber process.

Ecologically sensitive farms reprocess the wastewater along with the shell and mucilage as compost to be used in soil fertilization programs.

Employing modern farming methods, the Templers introduced soil fertilization, better methods of crop rotation and new crops such as potatoes.

It called for the planting of seedlings within one year of a harvest, soil fertilization, thinning, rehabilitation of brushlands, and, eventually, genetic improvement of trees.

These traditional methods of soil fertilization not only save energy and labour in the fertilization process but also make full use of the organic "garbage" in the village and the nutrients carried by water runoff and natural soil erosion.

Selling human waste products as fertilizers became much less common after World War II, both for sanitary reasons and because of the proliferation of chemical fertilizers, and less than 1% is now used for night soil fertilization.

Alternatively, recent research has suggested that the movement and migration of large herds of livestock and wildlife has an integral role in the preservation of vegetation and soil fertilization, and that the removal of livestock and wildlife (largely by human influence) has been the main driver of increasing desertification.
