In fact, with the biodynamic method<\/strong>, fertilization, cultivation, and animal husbandry are carried out in ways that respect and increase the fertility and vitality of the soil and at the same time the typical qualities of the plant and animal species, using only natural means: compost produced from solid farmyard manure, plant material as fertilizer, crop rotations, mechanical pest control, and pesticides based on mineral and plant substances.<\/span><\/p>\n By vitalizing the soil and increasing its biological activity, plants grow naturally, nourished by the soil ecosystem. Fertilization and soil care are therefore aimed at achieving and maintaining this balance.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”full-width-section” background_type=”image” background_repeat=”no-repeat” background_position=”center center” background_attachment=”fixed” background_size=”cover” css=”.vc_custom_1475665910020{padding-top: 10% !important;padding-bottom: 10% !important;background-color: #f2f2f2 !important;}” background_image=”13098″ overlay_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.4)”][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″] At that time, no one could have imagined what profound changes the earth was about to face, only 50 years later. Steiner had foreseen it all, and in June 1924, just a year before his death, he held a set of conferences in Koberwitz, in Breslau \u2013 today known as Poland. It was during these conferences that the concept \u201cbiodynamic agriculture<\/strong>\u201d was coined. It is made of two words: biological, referring to the agricultural regime that has always been applied; and dynamic, referring to the natural practices that accelerate the growth of humus.<\/span><\/p>\n Steiner\u2019s immense gift to farmers was giving them new ‘weapons’ (which are the Biodynamic preparations) to deal with the disastrous consequences that would materialize 25 years later. Today, Biodynamic Agriculture<\/strong> is officially recognized as a cultivation method by Australia and Switzerland and is the evolution of organic farming and not its variant. It is the new agriculture, the one that will accompany mankind for the centuries to come.

In the organic regime, chemical fertilizer is prohibited, but organic fertilizer<\/strong> and soil conditioner<\/strong> (manure) are allowed. The former has a purely nutritive function, the latter is more fertilizing. In biodynamics<\/strong>, only manure or green manure (sowing in the autumn and then burying) may be used. The important thing is that one does not seek a fertilizing effect but a supply of organic matter in the soil. Every year 2% of organic matter is mineralized and is not normally replenished. On a biodynamic farm, on the other hand, there is a constant supply of organic matter and therefore the ratio is always positive.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”full-width-content” no_padding=”no-padding” equal_col_height=”equal-columns-height” background_type=”image” background_repeat=”no-repeat” background_position=”center center” background_attachment=”fixed” background_size=”cover” el_hidden=”hidden-lg,hidden-md,hidden-sm,hidden-xs” css=”.vc_custom_1555598890962{background-color: #ffffff !important;}” background_image=”13098″ overlay_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.4)” el_id=”NASCOSTO”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1475666006246{padding-top: 7% !important;padding-right: 10% !important;padding-bottom: 7% !important;padding-left: 10% !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}”] Difesa e concimazione sono due aspetti molto importanti. Nel regime biologico il concime chimico \u00e8 vietato, ma sono ammessi il concime organico<\/strong> e l\u2019ammendante<\/strong> (letame). Il primo ha una funzione prettamente nutritiva, il secondo pi\u00f9 fertilizzante. In biodinamica<\/strong> si possono utilizzare solo il letame o i sovesci (semine effettuate in autunno e poi interrate). Il concetto importante \u00e8 che non si cerca un effetto concimante ma un apporto di sostanze organiche nel suolo. Ogni anno il 2% di sostanza organica viene mineralizzata e di norma non viene reintegrata. In un\u2019azienda biodinamica, invece, c\u2019\u00e8 un apporto costante di sostanza organica e quindi il rapporto \u00e8 sempre in positivo.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1476542213443{background-image: url(http:\/\/www.rosarubra.it\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/biodinamica-rosarubra-pietranico-3.jpg?id=14085) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”] [vc_row row_type=”full-width-content” no_padding=”no-padding” css=”.vc_custom_1467877872292{background-color: #f2f2f2 !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1467877767547{padding-top: 7% !important;padding-right: 10% !important;padding-bottom: 7% !important;padding-left: 10% !important;background-color: #f2f2f2 !important;}”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1467877729237{padding-top: 7% !important;padding-right: 10% !important;padding-bottom: 7% !important;padding-left: 10% !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}”][vc_column_text]There is still much confusion and little information about this type…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":516,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-31188","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n\u201cBiodynamic agriculture: two words that imply a way of working, observing, and experiencing the land.

Origin<\/h2><\/div>[vc_column_text]At the end of the 1800s, many farmers turned to Rudolf Steiner<\/strong>, founder of the Anthroposophical Society, for advice on revitalizing the land, as the soil was losing its vitality. Chemical agriculture was still far from being born, and until that time in all the continents and civilizations of our planet, the farmer had always applied organic farming, which remained unchanged until after the end of World War II. <\/span><\/p>\n
The biodynamic way back to nature<\/h2><\/div>[vc_column_text]Pesticides and chemical agents are meant to kill hostile pathogens, and at the same time sterilize the soil, which slowly depletes and dies so that the plant can feed on artificially supplied fertilizer. On the other hand, thanks to biodynamics<\/strong>, the aim is to recreate the unique life structure that we find today in woodland areas, where more than a billion microorganisms between microflora and microfauna live in one gram of soil: these are the foundations for unique biodiversity. Plants growing in such vivified soil live in symbiosis with these billions of micro-organisms; the soil becomes a natural laboratory that provides the vegetation with the necessary nourishment. <\/span><\/p>\n
Preparati biodinamici<\/h2><\/div>[vc_column_text]Pesticidi e agenti chimici hanno lo scopo di uccidere gli agenti patogeni nemici, ma al tempo stesso sterilizzano il terreno che lentamente si impoverisce e muore cos\u00ec che la pianta arriva ad alimentarsi grazie al fertilizzante apportato artificialmente. Con l’agricoltura\u00a0biodinamica<\/strong>, invece, si vuole ricreare quella struttura vitale unica che oggi ritroviamo nelle zone boschive, dove in un grammo di terreno vivono oltre un miliardo di microorganismi tra microflora e microfauna. La pianta coltivata in un terreno cos\u00ec vivificato vive in simbiosi con questi miliardi di microorganismi ed \u00e8 questo laboratorio naturale a fornirle ci\u00f2 che le necessita per nutrirsi.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
