In the last two articles, we have focused on maize yields and limiting factors to crop yields in general, highlighting soil pH and rainfall amounts and distribution. In this month\u2019s issue, we focus the dynamics of soil physics and biology, and how these affect the production potential of crops in a particular field. In more ways than one, the yield capacity of an environment is impacted by the aspects of soil physics such as texture and depth, as well as aspects of soil biology such as populations and types of microbes and soil organic matter (both humus and crop residue). The production potential of a soil is used as a guide to determine what crops can be grown in a particular field.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Seed Co, our commitment is to offer seed solutions to every farmer, and further advise them on how to extract the best of the potential of the seed.
