Summary
Organic fertilizer refers to fertilizer made from organic matter of animals and plants through natural processes such as microbial fermentation and composting.
Organic fertilizer refers to fertilizer made from organic matter of animals and plants through natural processes such as microbial fermentation and composting. Unlike chemical fertilizers, organic fertilizers are rich in organic matter, trace elements and bioactive substances, which can improve soil structure, soil fertility and crop quality. Common organic fertilizers include farmyard manure, livestock and poultry manure, stable manure, biogas residue, etc.
1. There are many benefits to using organic fertilizer to grow vegetables.
First, organic fertilizers are rich in organic matter, which can improve soil structure, increase soil porosity, and improve soil moisture retention and air permeability. These characteristics can make plants grow better and reduce soil erosion and waste of water resources.
Secondly, organic fertilizers are rich in nutrients, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, etc., which can improve soil fertility, meet the absorption needs of plants, and promote crop growth and development. Moreover, no chemical synthetic substances are used in the preparation of organic fertilizers, which will not pollute the soil and groundwater and reduce the negative impact on the environment.
In addition, organic fertilizers contain a variety of trace elements and bioactive substances, which can improve the quality and taste of crops. Organic fertilizer can not only improve the immunity and disease resistance of plants, reduce the occurrence of pests and diseases, but also improve the quality of crops, increase nutritional value and taste.
2. Precautions for growing vegetables with organic fertilizer:
However, when using organic fertilizer to grow vegetables, you also need to pay attention to some matters.
1. Reasonable fertilization is required. Different crops have different requirements for nutrients. It is necessary to fertilize according to the requirements of different vegetables, and master the time and method of fertilization to avoid waste or excessive fertilization leading to soil pollution.
2. It is very important to choose high-quality organic fertilizer. Choose good quality organic fertilizer, such as organic fertilizer from standardized breeding, reasonable composting, etc., and avoid using seriously polluted organic fertilizer, such as organic fertilizer containing heavy metals, pesticides, etc.
3. Mastering the time of fertilization is also very critical. Organic fertilizer needs to be decomposed by microorganisms to release nutrients. Therefore, the time of fertilization should be selected according to factors such as soil temperature and plant growth conditions to avoid lack of fertilizer or fertilization too late when plants need nutrients.
4. Pay attention to soil acidity and alkalinity. Organic fertilizers are rich in organic acids, which can easily lower the pH value of the soil. Therefore, it is necessary to test the soil pH in time after fertilization and adjust the soil pH value to avoid affecting crop growth.
5. Pay attention to hygiene and safety. Pay attention to hygiene and safety when fertilizing and harvesting to avoid contamination by bacteria, viruses, etc., which will affect the quality and health of vegetables.
