Although they seem practical and exist in different forms, chemical fertilizers are not the best options for maintaining a healthy crop and they still prevent production from resulting in 100% organic foods. As organic agriculture expert Thiago Tadeu Campos explains, in the long run, chemical fertilizers can erode and deplete the soil.
An ancient way of renewing the nutrients absorbed by plants is the use of materials already degraded in the soil, that is, the reuse of organic waste available in nature for the revitalization of the land. Humus is one of those options.
The role of humus in organic agriculture
In addition to being an inexpensive form of fertilization, humus production is simple and totally organic, preventing cultivation from suffering the consequences of synthetic fertilization.
Humus, which uses earthworm manure as a raw material, provides the soil with non-synthesized plant hormones, allowing plants to naturally absorb differentiated nutrients and grow vigorously and without deficiency of important nutrients such as triple NPK or Zinc.
