Abstract

There is a critical demand for food need in the next fifty years is a massive challenge for the consistency of food production for global and local circumstances. Recent farming technologies might be improving fertility while they might be menacing farming ecosystems. This study presents the soil mesofauna importance and managing techniques to improve soil health. An adjusted tullegren funnel has accomplished the soil mesofauna extraction and analysis of edaphic elements like soil temperature, soil moisture, organic carbon, available nitrogen, and phosphate has been accomplished by standard lab techniques. The outcome demonstrated that soil mesofaunal communities are affected with some chosen elements by managing techniques like cropping, tilling, etc. that eventually help in keeping the health of the soil.
