Humus: Culture, Benefits in agriculture & Description

Humus is the stable form of soil organic matter derived from decomposition of plant and animal substances. Humic layer or humus horizon is the organic matter above the topsoil and below leaf litter which is finely divided having a high surface area. This layer consists of a large proportion of humus. Humus can be found in many layers of the soil, but…
