Enzymes, Digestion and Soil in Agriculture


There is a great value and important in soil quality so far as the enzymes within the soil are concerned - the biological activity of the soil. A plant, like an animal, needs enzymes to prosper. While the enzymes present in soil bacteria help to supply this need, good soil also contains free enzymes. Scientists are now measuring the value of a soil by the amount of enzymes it contains. These enzymes values have a direct relationship to the quality of our nutrition and health. Some technicians prefer to test for the enzyme dehydrogenase. Others look for the enzymes amalyse, unrease, asparaginase, cellulase, invertase, Phosphatase, phytase, potease, saccharase, or xylanase. It is known that the operation of microorganisms in the soil is very important to the growth of plants. De-natured chemically 'fed' soils as opposed to plants grown in organic soils makes a huge difference. Worms are an important part of this. Worms. Like all other animals, continually take in enzymes and eliminate them in their excretions, giving the soil an endowment of free enzymes. Soil rich in worm casts is sought after by some horticulturalists for the cultivation of favoured plants. It makes high-grade plant food.

Synthetic, enzyme less fertilisers were developed only about 50 or 60 years ago. For untold millions of years before that, farmers began, soil had been receiving the fresh urine and faeces from countless numbers of animals and birds. Vast herbs comprising millions of animals roamed the land. Enormous flocks of birds blotted out the sky. And all of these creatures dropped their enzyme-laden urine and faeces on the soil to fertilize it according to the plan of nature. When these millions finally died, their bodies dropped to the ground the soil inheriting a good share of their enzymes. Any physiologist will confirm that these animal and human waste products are rich in enzymes resulting from normal wear and tear. Although they are not good enough to retain in an organism?s body, they have proved their worth for millenniums.

Scientists from many counties have discovered free enzymes (as opposed to those present in bacteria) in the soil. For thousands of years farmers have been fertilising their fields with manure. Manure, an enzyme fertiliser is an excellent source of free enzymes because it is made of urine, faeces, and straw.

The enzyme less fertiliser substitutes weaken vegetables and other plant foods, building up a hidden preclinical entity, a state of ?disease? that is a prelude to disease.

Poisonous sprays do not cure the lowered vitality responsible for this state - instead, they kill the plan predators were not killed by poison. Modern crops cannot stand on their own feet without the aid of poison. The organically grown and wild collected plants contained in the Superfood benefit from the high enzyme soils they are grown in and in turn provide more enzyme levels for our own digestion.
