Mbolea
Kutengeneza mbolea ni mchakato wa asili wa kuoza & # 39; au kuoza kwa vitu vya kikaboni na vijidudu chini ya hali inayodhibitiwa. Malighafi kama vile mabaki ya mazao, taka za wanyama, takataka za chakula, baadhi ya taka za manispaa na taka zinazofaa za viwandani, huongeza uwezo wao wa kutumiwa kwa udongo kama rasilimali ya kurutubisha, baada ya kupata mbolea.
Mbolea ni chanzo tajiri cha vitu vya kikaboni. Dutu ya kikaboni ina jukumu muhimu katika kudumisha rutuba ya mchanga, na kwa hivyo katika uzalishaji endelevu wa kilimo. Mbali na kuwa chanzo cha virutubisho vya mimea, inaboresha mali ya kemikali na kibaolojia ya mchanga. Kama matokeo ya maboresho haya, udongo: (i) unakuwa sugu zaidi kwa mafadhaiko kama ukame, magonjwa na sumu; (ii) husaidia mazao katika matumizi bora ya virutubisho vya mimea; na (iii) ana uwezo wa kuendesha baiskeli inayofaa ya virutubisho kwa sababu ya shughuli kali za vijidudu. Faida hizi zinajidhihirisha katika hatari ya kupunguza mazao, mavuno mengi na kuweka chini kwa mbolea zisizo za kawaida kwa wakulima.
