Rice fields are a source of life for farmers and communities in Indonesia. With fertile rice fields, farmers will have the opportunity to get quality crops for consumption by the community. Therefore, it is important for Honda friends to know how to restore the fertility of rice fields.

Fertile soil itself is soil that, if planted with seeds, can produce high harvests throughout the year. However, if the rice fields are planted with plant seeds too often and for too long, then the rice fields can release the elements and substances they contain, so that the fertility of the soil will decrease.

One of the habits that farmers often do after harvesting is burning the remaining grass on agricultural land. It turns out that this habit is one of the factors that causes rice fields to experience a decrease in soil fertility.

If Honda Friends burn agricultural land, the nutrients in the soil will move into the air, making them easily washed away by the water.

The repeated use of rice fields is also one of the causes that makes rice fields infertile. In this case, farmers will usually think about replacement nutrients after their crops have been reaped repeatedly.

Honda friends need to know that excessive use of chemical fertilizers can cause the pH in the soil to change to become more acidic or more alkaline. This can cause the planted seeds to not grow in the soil.

If Honda's rice field soil has a pH value below 6 and above 7, then the plant seeds can experience AI poisoning (acid) as well as Ca and Molybdenum (base) poisoning.
