Soil Conditioners are essential to soil: Know how!

Posted by NM India Biotech on March 20th, 2021

Presently, we have seen the deteriorating quality of soil and crops, all due to the uncontrolled use of chemical fertilizers. Today, the soil is in bad health and is getting hardened due to ignorance in the use of soil conditioners and other important nutrients. 

The biggest problem is that farmers do not realize the importance of soil conditioners. Soil conditioning is any process that increases the fertility of the soil to enhance crop production and soil quality combined. 

Soil needs conditioning because of various reasons, like:

• To improve soil’s conductivity

• To keep it moist and avoid degradation

• To make the soil porous so as to allow drainage and aggregation alike.

• To avoid soil compaction due to the overuse of harsh chemicals.

Soil conditioners comprise organic materials like gypsum, water-soluble polymers, lime, living plants, microbes, etc. that make the soil more functional and restore its fertility. Indian agricultural practices include the application of fertilizers and pesticides in huge amounts to meet food demands. But this, in turn, costs them soil fertility and leads to degradation.  This practice of using chemicals on the soil happened over and over again, leading to hardening of the soil, low permeability, soil water retention constraints and wind and water erosion. 

All of this further deteriorated the production as well, and the total cost of agriculture increased manifold. Moreover, poor quality production could not fetch a good price, this is why it was all a no-profit, only loss condition for farmers.

Even if the soil is maintained in good quality, soil conditioner helps increase the production significantly. People might tend to choose either an organic or an inorganic soil conditioner to improve soil’s condition. But it is recommended to cut down the use of chemicals, NM India has produces a 100% organic and natural soil conditioner with all the vital nutrients, Wonder Earth EcoSil-De.
