Products for use in Fertilizing and Soil conditioning

In organic agriculture the maintenance of soil fertility may be achieved through the recycling of organic material whose nutrients are made available to crops through the action of soil micro-organisms and bacteria. Many of these inputs are restricted for use in organic production. In this appendix “restricted”, means that the conditions and the procedure for use shall be set by the
