In a constantly growing world and with the need to increase food production, technical and efficient agriculture becomes increasingly important. In this sense, soil care plays a fundamental role. In this article, we will explore the importance of keeping the soil in optimal conditions and how MORERA products can contribute to this goal.
Soil plays a fundamental role in agriculture and is a key resource for the success of agricultural practices. Here are some important reasons that highlight the importance of having good soil in sustainable agriculture:
1- Nutrient supply: The soil is the main source of nutrients for plants. It provides the essential elements like nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium and many other nutrients in the soil necessary for the healthy growth of crops. Nutrient-rich soil ensures that plants have access to the necessary resources to thrive and produce quality crops.
2- Retention and availability of water: The soil acts as a water reservoir for plants. A healthy, well-structured soil has the ability to retain water and gradually release it, allowing plants to access it during periods of drought or water shortage. A good water retention capacity also helps to avoid excessive leaching of nutrients, which optimizes the efficiency of their uptake and utilization by plants.
3- Physical support and anchoring of the plants: The soil provides a physical support for the plants, allowing them to anchor properly in the substrate. A well-structured soil with good porosity facilitates root growth, ensuring greater nutrient absorption and better resistance to adverse weather conditions, such as strong winds or heavy rain.
4- Biological activity: The soil harbors a wide diversity of living organisms, such as bacteria, fungi, nematodes and earthworms, which play vital roles in nutrient cycling and in the decomposition of organic matter. These organisms contribute to the formation of a healthy soil structure, improve soil fertility, and help control pests and diseases.
5- Carbon cycling and climate change mitigation: Healthy soils play an important role in carbon cycling and climate change. By storing and sequestering organic carbon, they contribute to mitigating the effects of climate change. In addition, good soil management can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, such as carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide, by improving fertilizer use efficiency and reducing the need for intensive tillage.
One of MORERA’s outstanding products is HumeSint Forte, made from humic and fulvic acids obtained from natural Leonardite. This product has been specially designed for soils depleted in humus. By using HumeSint Forte, the physical and chemical properties of the soil are improved, increasing its nutrient retention capacity and avoiding compaction and loss of permeability characteristic of overexploited or humus-poor soils. With the use of HumeSint Forte, the formation of a more favorable soil structure for plant growth is encouraged, resulting in more efficient and sustainable agriculture.
Another prominent product from MORERA is PoliCarbol, a liquid organic fertilizer of vegetable origin with high solubility and rich in organic matter. PoliCarbol plays a crucial role in improving soil quality by increasing its C/N ratio, which increases organic matter and activates the proliferation of edaphic microorganisms necessary for plant development. In addition, PoliCarbol improves the ionic exchange capacity of the clay-humic complex, which facilitates the efficient assimilation of nutrients by crops. With its fulvic acid content, PoliCarbol provides rapidly assimilated energy for plants and helps unlock the nutrients present in the soil, thus improving the efficiency in the use of natural resources.
Soil salinity presents a great challenge for agriculture, since its high conductivity and accumulation of inorganic salts hinder plant growth. To address this problem, MORERA has developed Sal-fit, a product designed to condition this type of soil and return it to a state of salinity suitable for crops. Sal-fit is applied through irrigation systems, which allows the leaching of inorganic anions and cations, replacing them with polyhydroxycarboxylated organic matter and calcium. This action of Sal-fit regenerates the soil, improving cation exchange and nutrient retention, resulting in a more conducive environment for plant growth.
MORERA also offers Cal Flow, a liquid calcium amendment in the form of a concentrated suspension. This product is recommended for the restoration of calcium in the soil, the neutralization of acid soils and the correction of soils with high salinity or conductivity. By using Cal Flow, the balance of the soil is restored, improving its ability to retain nutrients and providing a suitable environment for the development of crops.
Maintaining the soil in optimal conditions is essential to achieve a technical and efficient agriculture. MORERA products, such as HumeSint Forte, PoliCarbol, Sal-fit and Cal Flow, play a key role in improving soil quality, stimulating microbial activity, promoting nutrient retention and conditioning saline soils. By using these products, farmers can optimize their farming practices, increase the productivity of their crops, and contribute to a more sustainable food system.
