Uso de compostagem e remineralizador de solo em culturas no estado do rio grande do norte: pó de rocha como benefício para o solo

Abstract

This work was developed with the intention of understanding and revealing how the process and use of composting and volcanic soil remineralizer occurs in agricultural production crops in settlement areas in Rio Grande do Norte. For this approach, bibliographical reviews were necessary that deal with the general theme of agroecology and specific topics, composting production activity in the production area of one of the settlers in the Rosário Settlement Project, using weeding remains, banana pseudostem, cattle manure, fruit and leaf remains. After a period of 90 days, and having collected and analyzed the soil, composting was applied to the coconut tree crop with Vulcan rock powder. The latter, which arises from the rocking process, which is nothing more than the grinding of a certain rock. The text also presents a brief discussion regarding the use of bioax, which was also introduced in the process of experimenting with volcanic rock powder in cassava cultivation. Another discussion that could not be left unaddressed in this work was the excessive use of pesticides, which cause diseases and impoverishment of the soil, contamination of the water table, causing many harms to the farmer's health. In this sense, this work aims to bring a brief theoretical discussion, emphasizing techniques, experiments and impacts, evaluating the associated use of composting and volcanic remineralizer in agricultural crops in Rio Grande do Norte.
