The difference between Chemical and Organic Fertilizer…

While chemical fertilizers only feed the plant and do not make any positive contribution to the soil, organic fertilizers primarily feed the soil and naturally plants also use this nutrient.

While the soils fed with organic fertilizers are prepared more efficiently for the following years, chemical fertilizers do not have such a feature.

One of the important differences is that chemical fertilizers do not contain any organic matter, whereas organic fertilizers contain organic matter in different proportions depending on their content and origin.

Due to the high amount of organic matter and humic + fulvic acid ratio it contains, it primarily increases the usefulness of the chemical fertilizers used for soil and plants, allows the use of less chemical fertilizers over time, and thus, the problems of chemical residues in soil and products disappear over time. As a general rule, since the organic matter required in agricultural soils should be around 5%, this ratio is currently below 1% for the time being.

What does this mean? Due to the insufficient organic matter in agricultural soils, the chemical fertilizers used cannot meet the need, in short, the “fertilizer utilization rate” remains low and an economical fertilization cannot be made. However, the increase in the organic matter in the soil resulting from the use of organic fertilizers will lead to the use of less chemical fertilizers, and the “fertilizer utilization rate” of the plants will increase and an economical fertilization will be made. By obtaining not only economical fertilization, but also high quality and high yield, the income of the producers and naturally the peace of mind will increase, and the lands will be transferred to the next generations as more productive and clean.

Vermicompost in the World and in Our Country

Although studies on vermicompost were carried out 100 years ago, it has been academically encountered worldwide since the 1960s. Especially after 2000, there has been a significant increase in the quality and number of academic studies on this subject.

Use of worms in medicine

Another area where earthworms are used is “medicine”. Extracts from earthworms have been used in Chinese medicine since 2300.
