Biology Vs. Chemistry — What You Should Farmers & Gardeners Worldwide Choose?

The most basic necessity of human beings was always food. Agriculture was the main momentum for the world’s entire population for thousands of years. Plants are called producers as they synthesize their food using CO2 from air, water and soil, utilizing sunlight as an energy source.

The practice of producing crops and livestock from the earth’s natural resources was constantly transforming, from all-natural farming to chemicals-powered and slowly returning to the environment-friendly growing.

While more and more consumers are becoming more eco-conscious, gardeners and farmers still stand at the crossroads when choosing whether to use biology or chemistry-powered agricultural solutions.

Chemistry in Agriculture

Food crops, vegetables and other greens must fight over 30 thousand species of weeds, 10 thousand species of plant-eating insects and other worms, and bacteria. 

Chemical-powered solutions like Pesticides enable farmers to produce insect-free, quality foods at affordable prices. They also help farmers provide a mass of all-year-round foods necessary for consumers, like fruits and vegetables.

However, the usage of chemicals in farming also comes with a range of harmful cons, for example:

• Yields fertilized with chemical solutions contain far fewer nutrients than eco-friendly farming.
• It’s extremely harmful to the environment, polluting the air.
• Chemicals require more frequent application compared to natural solutions, which raises the question of whether the chemical-powered harvesting solutions are cheaper?

It’s important to remember — 80% of all diseases and pests come directly from excess use of NPK (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) rather than from a deficit of some other minerals. That’s why it is simply ignorant to keep using chemical fertilizers and pesticides.

Nitrogen is probably the least needed and most abundant element available to plants. 78% of air is nitrogen, and millions of tons pass through fields annually. Biologically active soil has more than enough nitrogen, and you don’t need to use chemicals to increase its concentration.

If your soil biology is alive and healthy and can fix nitrogen by using Sanasoil products to kickstart the natural fixation process in the soil.

Another popular chemical addition is phosphorus, which can be an absolute waste of money for farmers and gardeners around the world. There is an average of 7000 — 9000 kilograms of phosphorus in just the top 25 cm of average agricultural soil. However, it is often found in a form unavailable for plants to collect. Since phosphorus is a very active element, once it is applied to the field in chemically-produced fertilizers, it bonds with other elements in the soil (Z, Fe, Mg, Cu). Also, it becomes unavailable to plants within seconds, and 90% of chemically applied phosphorus is washed away onto the streams, rivers and lakes.

So when paying for chemical phosphorus fertilizers, you spend money to add another

100-150 kg of phosphorus to the existing 7000 — 9000 kg/ha. The only way to unlock phosphorus in the soil is to let microorganisms do their job, as they’ve done over millions of years — kickstarting the process with the help of Sanasoil products.

Potassium is even more abundant in soil than phosphorus, with the top 25cm of an average soil containing 35 000 to 45 000 kilograms of potassium per hectare. It’s vital to build microelements and microorganisms enriched soil. And there is no better way than to use a range of eco-friendly Sanasoil products.

Farming Powered by Nature

Modern days scientists agree on one thing —  biology is stronger than chemistry. Mineral fertilizers and agrochemicals came from when science knew little about soil biology. Even Justus von Liebig spent his last years of life advocating soil biology and trying to undo the damage done by his own “law of the minimum,” which many are still following today. 

Using natural farming and gardening solutions like Sanasoil, you can say goodbye to the chemicals and strengthen your plants to prevent them from various diseases, fungi and pests. 

Biology-powered Sanasoil products will enrich your crops’ soil with vital microorganisms and microelements, and you will no longer need chemical solutions.

What Should You Do?

As mentioned above, ensure that your soil is alive, enriched with various microorganisms and microelements that will help grow your greens healthier and stronger, bringing you more nutritious yields.

Don’t search for chemical-powered farming solutions and lean on biology. A wide range of Sanasoil products consists of 100% naturally found elements that are not harmful to the environment and humans.
