Every season, crops must overcome environmental stressors from a range of biotic and abiotic conditions, including pest and pathogen pressure, drought, extreme weather or soil salinity. Abiotic stress alone can cause over 50% growth loss in most plant species, and disease pressure can cause even greater damage (Rejeb et al. 2014).

Agricultural resiliency is the land’s ability to maintain productivity and provide ecosystem services regardless of changing and often harsh environmental conditions. Resiliency largely depends on soil quality. Healthy soils capture and store more water, resist erosion during heavy rainfall and maintain higher levels of plant-available nutrients compared with degraded land(7).
