Answers
Answer:
Humus is Inorganic part of soil
Answer:
Humus in inorganic part of soil is the answer.
Explanation:
Humus, the fraction of the soil medium that helps to make minerals available to plant rootlets, is produced in the soil by the decay of animal and plant matter. When soil humus levels are higher, it takes fewer nutrients to produce crops. Humus and partly decomposed soil organic matter can also greatly increase the water- and nutrient-holding capacities of sandy soils.27 In order to build humus levels in soil, a suitable combination of water, air, residue, fungi, bacteria, protozoa, algae and yeasts is needed. PROTECTOR introduces selected microorganisms which can naturally and efficiently balance the soil. A low C-content dose can be used, 400 kg ha−1 to 1250 kg ha−1 (0.1% v/v), or more. The product promotes the restoration and maintenance of the complex soil system, encourages humus building and mobilises minerals towards plant availability. Where soils are rich in P but it is in a bound form unavailable to plants, selecting a P-mobilising PROTECTOR formulation will enhance the mobilisation of minerals in situ and make them more readily available to the plants. The use of acid- and salt-based fertilisers, on the other hand, causes gradual loss of humus from the soil.
