BASIC PRINCIPLES OF AGRICULTURES
Organic matter plays an important role in the physical ,checimal and biological condition of the soil.Agood soil structure optimizes water availability and air distribution ,winch stimulates root activity.Mineral fertilizers are used to main tain crop yields,but they lose efficiency when the levelof oranicmetarialinthe soil becomes too low.High guatiliy organic content improve mineral fertilizer efficiency.
The law of complex action of all growth and development factors of plants, based on nutrition theory and photosynthesis.
The law of constant increase in fortuity of soils - provided that the nudilivo elements are returned into soil, as well as the biogenic elements from the environment, the effective fertility of soil will increase. That is a fundamental law, acting above all other laws
Level of productivity and fertility of soil will be dependant on how the laws of crop-growing agriculture are applied in practice.
The law of substances return to soil (discovered by Liebig in 1840). According to this law, it is necessary to return the nutritive elements into soil, carried out by crop or wasted as the result of other reasons, by application of corresponding fertilizers or through other agrotechnical methods.
Closely connected with the law of return, is the law of minimum, optimum and maximum or the law of limiting factors - productivity of cultures depends on the factor or nutritive element which is at minimum, when the value of one factor, for example temperature, limits the supply of nutritive elements to plant, thus deteriorating physiological and biochemical processes in plants.
The law of irreplaceable and equivalent factors (moisture, nutritive elements, air, warmth, light, etc.) - neither of the factors of growth can be replaced by others, even similar in characteristics and influence on plants.
The law of optimal combination of growth and development factors (moisture, nutritive elements, air, warmth, light).
The law of combined and interdependent development of phytocenosis and place of cultivation - not only individual organism is linked to the place of cultivation, but also the vegetation on the whole interact with the environment.

ORGANIC FERTILIZERS
Organic fertilizes are the most effective means of incioasiim the lortility of soils, improving crop capacity and the quality of agricultural producu Application of fertilizers allows to manago the processes of plants' nutrition, to influence the quality of the harvest and the fertility of soil and its physical, chomical and biological properties.
farmlands do use all available means and measures to cover the plants' requirements, taking into account all scientifically substantiated technological requirements.
ORGANIZATION OF EFFECTIVE ORGANIC NOURISHMENT OF AGRICULTURAL PLANTS
Principles of macronutrient nourishment
In modern agriculture it is practically impossible to effectively cultivate agricultural plants gathering abundant and high- quality harvests, and maintaining and reproducing fertility of soils without the use of organic fertilizers.
From soil, plants absorb nourishing elements (macro- and micro-) which fire used for the biomass increase and full-blown functioning. However, availability of nourishing elements in soil and amount of elements accessible to plants depend on a number of factors (culture, soil and climatic conditions as well as cultivation practices). Absorption of nourishing elements by plants generally goes through the root system, which makes it necessary to apply organic fertilizers to the root area of plants.
During the vegetation period, absorption of nourishing elements by plants is disproportionate. Plants are especially demanding to the conditions of organic nourishment at the early stages of their growth and development. In this connection, it is very effective to use row fertilizing with readily available forms of nourishing elements when sowing or planting cultures.
The organic matter subsequently accumulates due to the repeated use (re-utilization) of nourishing elements which entered the plant earlier. It is only the leguminous plants that continue to acquire nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium after the growth of leaves has stopped.
The main conditions of the effective utilization of nourishing elements from organic fertilizers are complianl with optimum doses and conditions, methods of applying of fertilizers as well as Ihe usage of their various forms and adheicnce to correct cultural and cropping methods.
Below you will find lisled Ihe essential functions.ol Ihe macvonutrients used by plants:
Nitrogen in organic matter is an indispensable component of albuminous malleis. It regulates the growth of vetielalive mass and determines the level ol piod activity of plants together with their qualily.
c is an element of nutrition supply. It activates Ilu? cjmwth of root system, accelerates tiansilion from vegetative to generative development and processes of formation and ripening of seed. It also increases drought and frost resistance.
Potassium concentrates in young viable organs and tissues of cultures. It intensifies formation of sugars and its transition in tissues, increases plant's resistance to illnesses, droughts and light frosts.
Magnesium enhances the intensity of photosynthesis and chlorophyll formation and influences regeneration ol oxygen, activates fermentative processes. Calcium stimulates the growth and development of plants and their root system. It stimulates metabolism and improves resistance of plants to harmful action of acids and cations (sodium, aluminum, iron, manganese).
Sulphur constitutes an integral part of albuminous matter. This element participates in oxygen regeneration processes and plays an exceptionally important role in the plant metabolism.
It is necessary to remember that noncompliance with nourishing rules directly influences loss of harvests and its quality.
Principles of micronutrient nourishment
Microelements are chemical elements which are required for normal vital activity of plants and are used by them in micro quantities in comparison to the basic elements of nutrition. However, their role is very important. The essential ones are iron, copper, zinc, manganese, cobalt, molybdenum and boron. Their deficiency in soil causes decline in both the intensity of growth and physiological processes in plants and can bring on illnesses or even death.
Iron regulates photosynthesis, breathing, protein metabolism and biosynthesis of growth substances.
Copper regulates breathing, photosynthesis, carbohydrate and protein metabolism. It increases plants' resistance to unfavorable environment conditions and illnesses.
Zinc is very important for impregnation of plants and the development of embryo. It controls albumen, carbohydrate and phosphoric metabolism as well as biosynthesis of vitamins and growth substances.
Manganese plays an important
role in the process of photosynthesis, : breathing, carbohydrate and protein metabolism.
Cobalt is very active in oxygen re-1 generation and has a positive impact on ^ breathing and energy exchange.
Molybdenum regulates a nitric ex- change and is essential for fixing atmo- S spheric nitrogen in plant. ;
Boron regulates pollination and fe- S tus formation, and carbohydrate and f protein metabolism. It also increases resistance to illnesses.
Cultures considerably differ in their need for microelements and are divided into 3 groups: grain crops (with a low need for microelements), cultivated cultures (increased need for microelements) and vegetable cultures (high need for microelements, especially for vegetables on closed soil).
High humidity of soil and right farming techniques stimulates good supply of microelements in,plants. Agility of nourishing elements is also influenced by the reaction of the ground solution. With increased acidity level in soil, plants ? are poorly supplied with molybdenum, whereas the increase in alkalinity level causes undersupply of manganese, zinc, boron. Microelements are needed most at the early stages of plant's development and during formation of reproductive organs and impregnation.
It is essential to use both macro- and micro-elements during irrigation, as they are brought out to the surface. Besides, microelements allow plants to better consume and fully process nitro- gen, phosphorus and potassium.
It is worthwhile remembering that, ac|l cording to Liebig's law, any deficiency of a . 4 nutrient, no matter how small an amount
The vital importance of oiynnio fertilizers consists in enticllmoht ol soil with organic substance, which turns into humus during the procoss of liuinl- fication.
Cultivation of crops without application of organic fertilizers results in the decrease of humus content in soil, which influences the fertility of soil, due to the mineralization of humus. In particular, decrease in humus' conlonl in soil for just 1% determines the decrease of crop capacity for 5 t:on triors per hectare in grain units.
is needed, crucially influences yield and its quality and subsequently holds back plant development. Therefore, the role of microelements should not be underestimated, when compared to basic nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, calcium.
The biggest benefit from microelements' usage will be achieved when their impact on biochemical processes is taken into account. It is very important to deliver every element exactly at the moment when it is most needed.
Influence of macro- and microelements on the productivity of agricultural plants and their quality Application of organic fertilizers with balanced content of macro- and microelements allows to considerably increase the productivity of agricultural plants, to improve quality of products and to facilitate increasing resistance to unfavorable climatic conditions and illnesses, positively influence the fertility of soil.
There is a great amount of macro- and microelements accumulated in fertilizer, which are immediately assimilated by plants. It contains series of growth substances, vitamins, amino acids and useful microflora. The chemical reaction of organic fertilizer is neutral. As a result of the fact that organic fertilizer contains the whole complex of useful matters, it can be used for all agricultural plants, but it is especially useful for those, which need nutrients in a concentrated form, with a balanced chemical composition. This fertilizer with prolonged action, having synchronous effect, is a new type of fertilizer for harvesting of ecologically clean products, capable of reviving soil and reducing anthropogenic influence, especially after application of high doses of fertilizers. Research showed 40-70% increase in harvest of many agricultural cultures, with a positive aftereffect on crops of some cultures for several years in a row.
Humification coefficient of this fertilizer is 20-30%, while for humus it is only 10%. Due to intensive fermentation this organic fertilizer contains an outstanding amount of biologically active matters (auksins, heteroauxins, etc.), which considerably reduce stress for plants, especially seedlings when transplanted in soil, reinforce their acceptability, increase speed of the germination of seeds, increase resistance of plants to diseases, influence the speed of growth and development of plants, thus leading to harvests of high biological quality, suitable for long term storage. The fertilizer is able to retain upto 75% of water and in 15-20 times more effective than any other organic fertilizer.

With application of Orgevit, it is possible change the direction of metabolic process and to increase accumulation of amino acids, proteins, starch, sucrose, fats and other important substances for agricultural produce.
Effect of the fertilizer on soil
Organic fertilizer Orgevit has a versatile positive effect on agrochemi- cal, physico-chemical and biological characteristics of soil. When organic fertilizer Orgevit, with high buffer capacity, is applied to soil, it does not promote the surplus concentration of salts in soil solution, as in the case of mineral fertilizers. In organic fertilizer Orgevit the content of humic acids, nitrogen and their proportion with ful- vic acids characterize the quality of the fertilizer. Organic fertilizer of humic or fulvic-humic type stimulates the whole complex of physical characteristics of soil at the expense of forming agro- nomically valuable structure.
The special added value to this fertilizer is given by humic acids contained and reaches 21,5% in terms of dry matter.
The given fertilizer contains a great quantity of biologically active substances, and their specific microflora is capable to regenerate dead soil, i.e. to satisfy all the necessities of soil and ensure high level of fertility.
Organic fertilizer Orgevit substantially influences the acidity of soil and can bring the pH level to normal. It is also important that phosphorus and nitrogen are quickly absorbed by plants.
Mechanism of the fertilizer's action
Nutritive elements are in organic form, thus preserved better from washing out and have a prolonged action.
Orgevit contains all substances necessary for plants in the easily assimilated form. It has an optimum reaction of soil solution and contains a rich flora of bacteria. When it is decomposed by microorganisms, macro- and micro-elements are freed, the plants are supplied with carbohydrates necessary for photosynthesis of plants. The nutrients in fertilizer are easily dissolved in water and can feed plants for a long period of time.
Application of organic fertilizer Orgevit will allow to make significant annual savings with nearly ten times lower costs of application of organic matter, with three times less expensive means of crop protection and amelioration. It allows not only to save money, but also in fuels and lubricants, spare parts and components. And the most important thing is that it allows to regenerate the soil's fertility, especially the eroded ones and to bring them back ready for crop alteration of full value. Besides that, the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of crops gathered become much higher, the crops can be stored significantly longer, and people get the biologically valuable products.
At present, the agricultural manufacturers have everything ready for application of organic fertilizer Orgevit and to lower the rate of application of the mineral fertilizers for 50%. It should also be noticed that 1 ton of this fertilizer is equivalent to 10-15 tons of traditional organics, which also allows to get additional profit.
RECOMMENDATIONS ON APPLICATION OF ORGEVİT / TERRAVIT / BIO BALANCE
The application of organic fertilizer Orgevit is just mixing it with soil withrecommended dose.How deep is depending on plant root formation.
Following all recommendations on application of organic fertilizer Orgevit will allow to supply cultures with the needed macro- and microelements taking into account their biological features and intensity of absorption of elements during the vegetation period.
The rates of application of the fertilizer depend on the content of nutritive elements and organic mass in soil and on the kind of crop.
