Soils are variable as reflecting different in suitability for economic crops. Moreover, other factors such as climate and topography of the areas also need be concern. In general, suitable soil physical conditions for plant growth should be loosen soil structure with friable and hardly to be compacted. High bulk density of soil is an indicator of high soil compaction that it may cause restrictions to root growth, and poor movement of air and water through the soil. Soils should be deep with well drained feature except for paddy rice that the soils should be flooded at the time of sowing and also during the early stages of growth. Soils with a high available water holding capacity have a larger reservoir and can supply water over time when plants need it. Apart from good physical property, that soil that is fertile will help plants to grow well. Plants need plant nutrients to grow therefore soil must contain major, minor and micro plant nutrients in balance for a particular crop. The high nutrient reservoir for plant growth is normally found in soils with high cation exchange capacity (CEC). The soil that is able to keep these nutrients within itself should have an optimum CEC. Soil pH or soil reaction strongly reflects the availability of plant nutrients in the soil through fixation and release mechanisms. When plants can efficiently take up nutrients, they will grow well and give a good yield. If the soil has too high or too low pH, some nutrients will be dissolved and toxic to plants, and some essential to plants might be deficient. Another soil property that is important is biological property. This involves in different sizes of living organisms in and on the soil. This property is related to soil microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes. Many processes in soils are controlled by these microorganisms. Such processes are the decomposition of soil organic matter, the transformation of organic and inorganic substances etc, which can be beneficial for plant growth. Some microorganisms can be pathogens that harm growing plants and when human eats these infected plants, human body will badly infected. To have a good soil, managing basic soil properties is necessary. In contrast, high potential soil can be degraded if an inappropriate management is undertaken. Therefore, to enable good maintenance of soils for crop production successfully and sustainability it is important to understand the intrinsic nature of the soils.
