Soil fertility can be determined by various factors including the soil's pH level, nutrient content (such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium), organic matter content, texture (sand, silt, clay), mineral composition, microbial activity, and the presence of beneficial soil organisms like earthworms and bacteria. Proper soil management practices can help improve and maintain soil fertility for healthy plant growth.
