GUIDE TO MICROBIAL PREPARATIONS AND FERMENTED PRODUCTS FOR BIOAGRICULTURE

Dettagli

Whether it is a small family garden or a real farm, whether you practice organic , biodynamic , permaculture or regenerative organic agriculture , in the end you always need to purchase fertilizers and preparations for plant protection .

And often this is a considerable expense, because natural products are much more expensive than pesticides and synthetic fertilizers.

In addition to the economic aspect, the environmental impact linked to production and transport must also be considered .

So what can be done to resolve this obvious paradox that those who choose clean agriculture find themselves facing? In these pages, Nigel Palmer suggests a very simple solution: self-production.

Drawing on his long experience as a farmer and the knowledge deriving from his training as an engineer, the author presents a long series of recipes for preparing mineral and microbial soil improvers, the use of which increases the biological activity of the soil and the availability of minerals for plant.

All this translates into an improvement in the resistance of plants to parasites and diseases , and in an increase in yields and the nutritional value of vegetables.

The text includes insights into plant-soil interactions, instructions for monitoring soil health, and extracting minerals from plant or animal waste.

It also offers valuable guidance on composting, vegetative cover, mulching and other aspects of sustainable horticulture, making this book an indispensable resource for anyone interested in improving their production .
