Healthy soil is a prerequisite for healthy plants, healthy animals, thus healthy foods. In organic farming, the focus of all activities is the care of healthy soil, as well as the maintenance and increase of the soil fertility. Various vegetation and as much as possible a complete vegetation of the soil are the best prerequisites for that. Preserving and increasing the humus in soil.

In organic land, the focus is on measures that stimulate health and development of the resilient power of crops against diseases and pests. We talk about illnesses or enemies only when there is a unilateral multiplication of a particular enemy or disease.
