Soil solution plays a crucial role in the growth and development of plants by serving as the primary medium through which nutrients are transported to the roots. This study explores the significance of soil solution in the cultivation of strawberries, potatoes, and maize—three agriculturally important crops. The availability and balance of essential nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in the soil solution directly affect root uptake efficiency, plant metabolism, and overall yield. Additionally, factors such as pH, salinity, and the presence of micronutrients in the soil solution greatly influence plant health and resistance to stress. Understanding the dynamics of soil solution composition helps optimize fertilization strategies and irrigation practices, ultimately contributing to improved crop productivity and sustainable agricultural practices.
