HUMO OLEA - Eco-fertiliser protecting from desertification

Humo Olea is:
•    An improver of the structure and the water capacity of the ground
•    A dynamic ecosystem of biological actions  (microorganisms, arthropods)
•    A source of organic matter
•    A source of nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium)

The production process of HUMO OLEA renders the olive oil production an integrated clean technology (Intergraded Process Pollution Control – IPPC), with zero effects on the environment ensuring the sustainability of the olive cultivation.

The raw materials for the production of the fertilizer HUMO OLEA are exclusively by-products from olives' treatment such as olive seed, olive tree leaves and vegetal liquids. In the HUMO OLEA fertilizer, there are no soil phytopathogenic microorganisms and weed seeds due to the fact that just upper parts of olive trees are used in the production process. The use of standard raw materials in standard proportions along with the standard composting procedure ensures stable quality of the produced compost.

The composting product that is already commercially available under the brand name HUMO-OLEA has provenly the characteristics of an excellent biological fertilizer ideal for every organic farm. The advantages of HUMO-OLEA are as follows:
 

• It improves the physical characteristics (structure) of soil by creating granules of such a size so as to make the ground fluffy. Thus, a better aeration of the plants roots and a proper drainage are achieved maintaining the right soil moisture.
• The activity of soil bacteria is enhanced due to the high organic content of the compost. Thus, extracellular polymers are produced creating soil granules whose presence improves the water holding capacity of soil.
• The soil caption exchange capacity is increased, and consequently the soil is more capable of binding the necessary nutrients for the plants’ growth, and not let them escape to groundwater. The high cation exchange capacity can be also attributed to the compost’s granule size distribution.
• The compost highly contributes to the development of well structured soil eco-system, where the harmonic symbiosis of bacteria with protozoan is achieved. The cycle of nutrients (such as the conversion of organic nitrogen to nitrates) is successfully completed through this symbiosis. This fact results to a healthy soil with a well balanced life around the plants roots.
• Compost has the ability to remediate soils contaminated or tired from the intensive agriculture due to the use of biocides such as methyl bromide, etc.
