COMPOST PROPERTIES
COMPOST PROPERTIES
- It improves the physical properties of the soil. Organic matter favors the stability of the structure of agricultural soil aggregates, reduces bulk density, increases porosity and permeability, and increases its water retention capacity in the soil. More fluffy soils with greater water retention are obtained.
- Improves chemical properties. It increases the content of macronutrients N, P, K, and micronutrients, cation exchange capacity (CIC) and is a source and store of nutrients for crops.
- It improves the biological activity of the ground. It acts as a support and food for microorganisms since they live at the expense of humus and contribute to its mineralization.
- The microbial population is an indicator of soil fertility.
