The organic material is the one that is found made up of organic molecules resulting from living beings and we can find it in the roots, in animals, in dead organisms and in the remains of food.
Matter that is composed of the remains of living things
Basically this matter is made up of elements of carbon and hydrogen, if the pair of elements is not present it could not be considered as organic matter.
In living beings we find various variants of organic matter, such as carbohydrates, compounds based on carbon and hydrogen; in the plant universe they appear in the form of cellulose, starch, and fructose, and in the animal kingdom they have the form of glucose and glycogen.
On the other hand, the organic molecule it’s a chemical compound that contains carbon and forms carbon-carbon and carbon-hydrogen bonds and in some cases may also contain nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus, oxygenamong others.
It stands out especially for being large, complex, diverse, such is the case of: carbohydrates, proteins, fats and nucleic acids.
It should be noted that organic molecules can be of two types: natural organic molecules (they are those that synthesize living beings with their actions and are called biomolecules) and artificial organic molecules (They are not found in nature and are manufactured or synthesized by humans).
Presence in the soil and relevance for the development of agricultural activities
As we mentioned above, organic matter is feasible find her on the ground and your presence there is a remarkable contribution to the fertility of the same.
Substances are distributed in the soil and that contribute to fertility, yes or yes, for a soil to be considered suitable for agricultural production, it must have a high level of organic matter, otherwise, the plants will not grow.
Because precisely this is a condition without equality for a soil to be considered suitable for developing agricultural activities and for hosting the satisfactory growth of plants.
The organic matter that is decomposed from microorganisms and that is suitable for the development of the mentioned activities is known as humus.
The soil that has humus will not lose nutrients and will have an increasing capacity to retain water and of course it provides conditions when it comes to improving biological, physical and chemical conditions.
Also, the waste that human beings generate daily, especially the remains of food that we discard when we cook, the leaves, among others, are considered organic compounds.
The remains of organic matter that we produce at home can be applied as effective fertilizers
So, organic matter is one of the most present compounds at the request of household waste: food scraps, leaves that fall in the garden or indoors, used diapers, are some of the elements that have this matter and which abound at home.
We must emphasize that they can be used as home fertilizers, to grow the plants that we have at home.
So, they, as such, can be reused, although it will be necessary to verify that they do not present any type of contamination so that we can use them without problems and can cause the desired effect.
However, to avoid the aforementioned contamination and carry out the process of accumulating organic remains to reuse them, we must comply with some conditions, such as: avoiding the mixture of food remains with fat or meat because it takes time to decompose; place the remains in a container with a lid and place it in an outdoor place that gives it shade and sun; place a layer of soil at the bottom of that container and water them.
After one month they will be ready to be used as natural fertilizer for our plants.
In contrast to organic matter is inorganic matter that it is not composed of carbon and does not result from the action of living beings but from nature at the request of chemical reactions.
The molecules of this type of matter are simpler and smaller, such is the case of salts, minerals and chloridesamong others.
