A very important aspect is that rock flour must be obtained from different rock colours, thus ensuring the content of various minerals that are essential for the development and balanced nutrition of plants.
What benefits and achievements will be obtained by incorporating rock and rock flour into agricultural production?
- Turning stones into food Rocks or stones retain moisture in the soil
