Fertile soil may not be productive due to factors such as poor drainage, lack of necessary nutrients, presence of toxins or pollutants, and compaction. Additionally, soil productivity can be impacted by soil structure, pH levels, and organic matter content. Other factors like climate, pests, and diseases can also affect productivity even in fertile soils.

A soil can be productive for farming even if it is not fertile, as long as it has the necessary physical structure and nutrients for plant growth. Soil productivity is determined by factors such as drainage, aeration, water retention, and nutrient availability, not just fertility. With proper management practices like fertilization and crop rotation, less fertile soils can still support productive agriculture.
Fertile soil may not necessarily be productive if it lacks the nutrients required for specific plants to thrive. Other factors like acidity, compaction, drainage, and presence of pests or diseases can also impact productivity despite the soil being fertile. Additionally, poor management practices such as over-fertilization or improper irrigation can reduce the productivity of fertile soil.
Type your answer here...It depend of on the following things;- Acidity and alkalinity of the soil and compaction of the soil.
Fertile soil attracts people to areas where agriculture is viable and productive. Farmers are drawn to fertile soil for its ability to support a variety of crops and enable successful harvests. This can lead to the establishment of thriving agricultural communities and economies in regions with fertile soil.
Fertile soil may not be productive if other factors like water availability, sunlight, temperature, or nutrients are not optimal for plant growth. Additionally, issues like soil compaction, erosion, and acidity can impact productivity. Proper soil management practices are essential to ensure that fertility translates into productivity.
