 Nutritive Cycle Theory

We care for the crops and livestock according to the Nutritive Cycle Theory –
is a theory that emphasizes the different nutritional requirements of crop plants
at the different growth stages. It is a theory that enables us to read the
changing growth stages of a plant or animal. The general idea is that the crops
and livestock need nitrogen when young, phosphoric acid during adolescence
and calcium after maturity. Natural Farming emphasizes the right use of the
right material, at the right stage, in the right quantity.

We apply fertilizer, feed or prescription precisely according to this cycle. Natural

Farming is a very elaborate, complicated and precise method that denies
“spray-and-forget” approach. Just like humans, crops and livestock also need
nitrogen when young (vegetative growth), phosphoric acid during adolescence
(change over period) and calcium after maturity (reproductive growth). Also
the amount of food they need to take in will constantly change, just as a baby
cannot eat a grown-up dish. For this reason, we will divide the crop growth into
3 stages and apply what are needed in each stage.

VEGETATIVE STAGES in order to bring the plant big and strong nitrates is needed.
