RE: Public health problems due to the excessive use of nitrates and bio-agriculture as an alternative

I am a fan of natural fertilizers. I live an area where I am surrounded by farmers and I usually see them use chicken manure as fertilizers. The disturbing thing, though, is that they use excessive amounts of pesticides that they would not want to eat their own produce. I wonder if there is a natural alternative to chemical pesticides too.
Thanks for sharing. 😊

Thank you @thecuriousfool for your visit, regarding your concern about whether there are natural alternatives to chemical pesticides, the answer is YES. Even in particular I have developed research in the field, testing the pesticide effect that has the phytometabolites of the leaves of Garlic, Neem, and Basil, the results showed a positive effect and the best thing is that it has a residual behavior, that is, when applying these natural products the control action is maintained for longer, this with respect to the short time of chemical pesticides.
We don't have Neem or Basil here but we have Garlic. There are times that I plant on pots and don't want to use artificial pesticides.
Thanks for the information. 😊
