. Immunological action increases the plant resistance to pathogens.
. Promotes beneficial microbial action in soil.
. Protects the soil from leaching of nutrients under conditions of high precipitation.
. Promotes a series of biologically active metabolism through the contribution of phytohormones, enzymes that promote germination, development and production of plants.
.Favorable root development.
. The lombrihumus improves the physical properties in sandy soils, providing a greater aggregation of particles. As well as increasing the moisture holding capacity. In very compacted soils improves the porosity and aeration of soils.
. Humus has no burning effect as chemical fertilizers, because to pass the stage of fermentation of organic matter, this does not cause burns or damage to foliage or roots.
. This helps correct the pH of soils by their very nature as a substrate to be neutral or slightly basic.
. The high regenerative capacity of the soil humus enables to improve the natural fertility of the soil and reduce the applications over time.
• Contains fulvic and humic acids by its colloidal structure promotes plant nutrition of plants.
.Produce high regenerative capacity of the soil humus allows improving the natural fertility of the soil and reducing the applications over time.
- The lombrihumus (vermicompost) is a nutritional source of energy and soil microorganisms. Microorganismos are the foundation of life on the ground, and their presence will depend on many processes that occur. Humus provides a nutritional source for those who continue to fulfill its role in the soil and benefit the crops.
- Regulator of plant nutrition, supplying macro and micro nutrients. It provides all the nutritional requirement that the plant needs for its normal development, the presence of other elements in the soil, promotes and regulates plant nutrition.
- Encourage the formation of stable aggregates, jointly between the clay and humus that gives rise to a defined structure, which means that it contains mucilaginous substances, secreted by the microorganism population, which are absorbed on the surfaces of clay minerals This allows the aggregation and cohesion of soil particles.
A sandy soil will compact to avoid that the water will leach the water with ease, and in the case of a clay soil, this will open to allow passage of water more quickly.
- To optimize the action of fertilizers to improve the efficiency of recovery and residual them.
This makes it feasible to significantly reduce the use of fertilizers on crops, therefore the use of plants improved considerably. The ability to store nutrients because of their high cation exchange capacitaty, which favors its retention, delivered to the plant in dose form.
- Encourage the development of normal food chains. The high number of microorganisms to help stabilize the balance in the soil, and organisms that predominate. Nematodes have such competition in its food requirements and therefore reduce their stocks or shift to survive.
- It reduces the water needs of crops. Due to the high water retention that can reduce the spacing between irrigations.
- Reduce the risk of chemical contamination of crops in soils with certain levels of contaminants
- It is possible to use with substrates Seedling.
