Knowledge of soil science and defects visible in a plant or soil can provide sustainable solutions. Sustainable tillage, weed management and pavement maintenance can be maintained and cultivated in various ways. What is sustainable \/ which solution offers the least environmental impact? How do we ensure better biodiversity? Environmental aspects, working conditions, legislation and regulations are discussed in detail here.
