USDA / NOP Guidelines
§
205.203 Soil fertility and crop nutrient management practice
standard.
(a)
The producer must select and implement tillage and cultivation practices
that maintain or improve the physical, chemical, and biological condition or
soil and minimize soil erosion.
(b) The producer must manage
crop nutrients and soil fertility through rotations, cover crops, and the
application of plant and animal materials.
(c) The producer must manage
plant and animal materials to maintain or improve soil organic matter
content in a manner that does not contribute to contamination of crops,
soil, or water by plant nutrients, pathogenic organisms, heavy metals, or
residues or prohibited substances.
(d) A producer may manage crop
nutrients and soil fertility to maintain or improve soil organic matter
content in a manner that does not contribute to contamination crops, soil,
or water by plant nutrients, pathogenic organisms, heavy metals, or residues
of prohibited substances by applying:
(1) A mined substance of low
solubility
§205.605 Nonagricultural (non-organic)
substances allowed as ingredients in or on processed products labeled as
“organic” or “made with organic (specified ingredients or food group(s).”
(a) Non-synthetics allowed:
(2) Bentonite
(8) Enzymes – must be derived
from an edible source. Nontoxic plants, nonpathogenic fungi, or
nonpathogenic bacteria
Basic
Generic Ingrediants
1) Soil
Microbes
– used to breakdown soil compounds into small particle-sized units that
plant roots can absorb as well as affix nitrogen from organic matter which
serves to provide a strong immediately usable nitrogen source and a stored
nitrogen source for later use.
2) Other
microbes
– used to help detoxify contaminated soil.
3) Humate
– used to provide humic and fulvic acid to the plant. Humic and Fulvic
acids help create a better water-holding capacity of soil, breaks up clay
soils, stimulates seed germination and root formation, respiration and
growth (usually seen as a larger mass of roots) helps regulate the pH
balance of the soil by assisting the soil in accepting or donating free
hydrogen ions, increases plant metabolism and increases drought tolerance.
Humate also is a food source for the microbes allowing the plant roots to
absorb a maximum amount of pure nutrients immediately.
4) Soil
Enzymes
– Certain enzymes have been added to increase the microbial activity so they
will reproduce at greater numbers within a specific time period. This
allows for a very rapid deployment and hence a very rapid provision of
nutrients to the plant.
5) Root
Growth Extracts
– Specific enzymes derived from organic materials that stimulate the root
growth and creates a “doubling” of the root length to occur. The increase
in root length does two things; 1) creates more area for nutrient absorption
and 2) seeks deeper ground in which to find water. This aids in the
reduction of the number of water applications.
