Excessive Use of Chemical Fertilizers in Agriculture
Excessive use of chemical fertilizers in agriculture poses several problems. It contributes to environmental pollution through water contamination and disrupts aquatic ecosystems. Soil degradation is another consequence, as chemical fertilizers often neglect essential nutrients, leading to reduced fertility, erosion, and decreased long-term productivity. Nutrient imbalances can arise, affecting plant growth and crop quality while disrupting nutrient cycling. Residues of chemical fertilizers in food crops can also pose health risks to humans. Moreover, excessive chemical fertilizer use harms beneficial organisms and reduces biodiversity in agricultural landscapes. It is estimated that the manufacturing and usage of synthetic fertilizers, contribute to around 6-7% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
Our Solution
Using all-organic natural fertilizer in agriculture improves soil and water health by enhancing structure, water retention, and microbial activity. The organic matter, nutrients, and microbial community in organic manure enrich the soil and water, supporting sustainable crop production. In aquaculture, organic fertilizers help to provide balanced nutrition, including essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals, promoting the overall health and well-being of fish. It supports optimal growth, disease resistance, and ultimately enhances the quality of fish products.
Plants benefit from improved growth, stimulated root development, and readily available nutrients, resulting in higher crop yields and better produce quality. Regular use of organic fertilizers enhances long-term soil fertility and reduces the need for external inputs, supporting a sustainable agricultural system. Organic fertilizers foster biodiversity and create a favorable habitat for beneficial soil organisms like earthworms, bacteria, and fungi, contributing to ecological balance.
