Organic Fertilization
Organic fertilization refers to the practice of using natural substances, such as compost, manure, and plant residues, to improve soil fertility and promote plant growth. This method avoids the use of synthetic chemicals and encourages the development of healthy soil ecosystems. Organic fertilizers release nutrients slowly and help to improve soil structure, water retention, and microbial activity. Additionally, organic fertilization is environmentally friendly and sustainable, as it reduces chemical runoff and minimizes harm to beneficial organisms.
