The health of our plants largely depends on the quality of the soil. Farmers and fruit growers are well aware of this. In their case, this is particularly important, as fertile soil translates into crop yields, their earnings and the health of consumers. Unfortunately, they are facing many challenges today. Soil can be damaged by, […]

Owners of orchards, farmland and gardens are currently facing a number of problems that are largely due to the climate change that accompanies us. However, sudden frosts and periods of drought do not only harm plants that have already had time to sprout. Drastic changes in temperature also affect soil pH. Meanwhile, its pH is […]

Drought and soil depletion are just a few of the problems faced by growers and fruit farmers. Crop owners also struggle with such major challenges as plant fungal diseases, recurrent pest outbreaks and soil acidification. In an attempt to improve the quality of their crops, growers turn to a variety of chemicals, including potassium bicarbonate […]

Chemistry can be seen almost everywhere in gardens. Plants need many various minerals for healthy growth and reproduction. For example, plants conduct the process of photosynthesis, which is a series of chemical reactions. Each of the elements and chemical compounds present in soil has specific functions, such as to co-create organic structures, catalyse enzymatic reactions, […]
