Fertilizers are ingredients and food substances given or
added to the plant, with the intention that the substance
food for the land increases. There are two kinds of fertilizer:
artificial fertilizer (artificial / chemical) and natural fertilizer (fertilizer
organic). Artificial fertilizers are chemical fertilizers released
by fertilizer factory. While natural fertilizer (organic fertilizer)
is a fertilizer made from natural ingredients, which is
occurs naturally, easily recycled through help
worms, bacteria, fungi, molds and others. Natural fertilizer
become soil nutrient materials that become material
food plants. Natural fertilizers can also be interpreted as
organic materials after being decomposed, their microorganisms
provide food substances that are easily smoked plants.
In ecological agriculture, fertilizer used is fertilizer
natural, because by using this fertilizer is more friendly
environment and in harmony with nature. And the results of the plant,
does not contain harmful chemicals to the body.
This farming system gives fertilizer to the soil, not on
plant. So, if the soil is fertile, supply nutrients inside
enough soil, then the plant will grow well.
Natural fertilizer is a source of organic matter in
in the ground. Soil organic matter is the whole remnant
ingredients derived from live bodies, whether they are ingredients
which is still fresh and that has gone through decay.
This organic material plays an important role in the soil, especially
its effect on soil fertility.
The effect of natural fertilization on soil structure can be
resulting in the mild soils being structured
better, water binding power becomes higher, whereas
heavy soils become lighter. While
the effect of natural fertilizer on plant growth is
accelerate the development of the plants caused
by the improvement of the state of the food. The influence that
others are plants can grow faster, fertile and
healthy, because fertilization affects plant resistance
against certain diseases.
The increase in agricultural business is done by fertilization
with natural ingredients. Natural ingredients that have been experienced
weathering can be fertilized with its properties:
- Can improve soil properties
- Can maintain soil moisture
- Can be a source of food substances for growing plants
- Can be a source of food for growth
microorganisms in the soil.
Fertilization of plants is given to provide food
(nutrients) in plants. In doing fertilizing for
natural, unscheduled farming
conventional, but according to the needs of the plant. In
Natural agriculture, it is worth noting, if the crops are deficient
one of the elements that became the main food.
- If plants lack Nitrogen, the leaves will be colored
yellowish, then the plants require liquid fertilizer
N, in addition to food. - Whereas a crop lacking Potassium (K) will
become dwarfed and sometimes rust-like. - If the shortage of Passport (P), leaves to dark green then
become reddish, brownish, then die. If on
fruit plants, then the flower process will easily fall or
fruit and seeds are not good. If it is lacking
element, in the planting needs to be added fertilizer
a lot of basics
