Establishing healthy soil is the key to successful growing. That's why it's important to compare different types of fertilizers. In this article, we take a closer look at the difference between chemical and organic fertilizers.
Chemical Fertilizer
Fertilizers are fertilizers composed of non-organic cultivation elements that stimulate the growth of crops. They are composed of artificially extracted chemical nutrients. Chemical fertilizers are uniform and constant in composition and work faster than organic fertilizers because they dissolve in water almost immediately. However, they work for a short period of time. That's why they don't provide the plants with the necessary nutrients for a long time. Also, no organic matter is added to the soil so it does not enrich or stimulate soil life. Because chemical fertilizers are high in salt, they absorb moisture from the soil.
Organic Fertilizer
If you want to grow your crops more sustainably, organic fertilizers can make a difference. They have several advantages over chemical fertilizers. Organic fertilizers are made from natural materials derived from animal or plant material. Therefore, this fertilizer is more environmentally friendly, but it also takes longer for the nutrients of these fertilizers to reach the plants. This may seem like a disadvantage, but due to the gradual release of nutrients, the risk of over-fertilizing is very small compared to chemical fertilizers.
Organic fertilizers enhance the natural processes in the land that provide nutrients not only to plants but also to the soil. This creates multifunctional soil life, making plants visibly more vigorous and resilient. Organic fertilizers also focus on preventive protection of plants. Resistance to pests and diseases increases naturally.
Benefits of Organic Fertilizers
✔️ Organic fertilizers ensure the soil structure is breathable
✔️ Use organic fertilizers to make the soil healthier and more fertile
✔️ Organic fertilizers can effectively use crops longer than chemical fertilizers
✔️ Organic Fertilizers - Unlike Chemical Fertilizers - No Sodium (Salt)
