Organic agriculture emphasizes cultivating your fields so that it sustains enriching soil, plants and beneficial insects. This is achieved by avoiding the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and using products that nurture your soil and organisms in it. When you embrace the organic agriculture philosophy, your crops experience a balanced and nourished ecosystem that works as nature intended.
Organic products are ideal for the land, because they feed the soil, creating a sustaining environment. Healthy soil leads to healthy plants and crops.
When you cultivate organically, you do much more than nourish your crops and plants.
As in nature, an organic soil alive with microbes and fungi releases nutrients slowly to plants. By enriching the soil with organic supplements and encouraging the growth of naturally occurring beneficial organisms, you give your plants the tools they need to access nutrients in the soil and the strength to protect themselves from harmful pathogens and pests.
High-quality organic fertilizers are easy for plants to digest. Organic fertilizers provide plants with slow-release, consistent nourishment. Such a “health food” diet makes your plants strong and self-sustaining. Rather than depend on you for feeding them a steady supply of synthetic fertilizers, they find what they need in soil that has been fed with organic fertilizer.
Organic fertilizers that feed the soil and sustain plants include animal waste and byproducts, bone meal, as well as fish fertilizers. Certified organic products, such as ORI Liquid Fish Fertilizer, provide plants with nutrient-rich sources of organic matter that breaks down and slowly feeds plants, making them strong and vigorous.
The gentle nature of organic fertilizers also means they won’t burn plant roots or foliage like chemical fertilizers can.
