Scientists who studied how soils supply nutrients to crops and how fertility can be built, maintained or restored, including work on phosphorus, soil acidity and the relation of soil to the quality of food. Soil fertility science underlies fertiliser use and the opening of poor soils to farming. A person belongs here when their cited article names them as a soil fertility scientist or as a researcher specialising in soil fertility.
