Reintroducing organic materials through composting sustains soil fertility and enhances its capacity to support healthy plant development. Unlike the detrimental practice of burning leftover straw, which eradicates beneficial microorganisms and compromises soil health, on-field hay composting preserves and even boosts the microbial life within the soil.
The reliance on synthetic fertilisers, while offering short-term nutrient solutions, ultimately leads to soil compaction and acidification, diminishing its natural structure and health. This degradation affects the soil’s microbiological activity, impairing its ability to sustain plant nutrition autonomously. Continuous use of such fertilisers exacerbates this problem, making the soil dependent on artificial inputs and distancing it from its natural, self-regulating state.
Adopting on-field hay composting as part of a regenerative agriculture strategy prevents these adverse outcomes. It revitalises the soil, ensuring it remains fertile, structured, and capable of supporting robust plant growth without synthetic interventions.
Through environmentally sustainable practices like on-field composting, PRIMA Agro Tech champions returning to more sustainable, self-sufficient agricultural ecosystems, where waste becomes a resource and soil vitality is paramount.
