I am sufficiently confused. How does not using pesticides restore minerals?
I don't doubt that soil erosion is a real thing, thats why famrers use cover crops and tilling, but where does said nutrients come from??
- fbelzile 6y agoOrganic farming involves more crops that die from pests. I presume those crops/dead pests decompose and replenish the soil with more nutrients for the next season.
- BostonEnginerd 6y agoI've read that pesticide use impacts the types of fungus, bacteria and other critters in the dirt. I understand that they can break down components of the dirt and convert the minerals into more available forms for the plants.
