The organic material is the one that is made up of organic molecules resulting from living beings and can be found in roots, animals, dead organisms and food remains.
Matter that is composed of the remains of living beings
Basically this matter is made up of carbon and hydrogen elements, if the pair of elements is not present it could not be considered as organic matter.
In living beings we find various variants of organic matter, such as carbohydrates, compounds based on carbon and hydrogen; in the vegetable universe they appear in the form of cellulose, starch, fructose, and in the animal kingdom they show the form of glucose and glycogen.
On the other hand, the organic molecule , it's a chemical compound that contains carbon and forms carbon-carbon and carbon-hydrogen bonds and in some cases may also contain nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus, oxygen, among others.
It stands out especially for being large, complex, diverse, such is the case of: carbohydrates, proteins, fats and nucleic acids.
It should be noted that organic molecules can be of two types: natural organic molecules (They are those that synthesize living beings with their actions and are called biomolecules) and artificial organic molecules (They are not found in nature and are manufactured or synthesized by humans).
Presence in the soil and relevance for the development of agricultural activities
As we mentioned lines above, organic matter is feasible find her on the ground and his presence there is a remarkable contribution to the fertility of the same.
Substances are distributed in the soil and that contribute to fertility, yes or yes, for a soil to be considered suitable for agricultural production, it must have a high level of organic matter, otherwise, the plants will not grow.
Because precisely this same is a condition without equanom for a soil to be considered suitable to develop in agricultural activities and to host the satisfactory growth of plants.
The organic matter that is decomposed from microorganisms and that is suitable for the development of the aforementioned activities is known as humus.
The soil that has humus will not lose nutrients and will have an increasing capacity to retain water and of course provides conditions when it comes to improving biological, physical and chemical conditions.
Also, the waste that humans generate daily, especially the remains of food that we discard when we cook, the leaves, among others, are considered organic compounds.
The remains of organic matter that we produce at home can be applied as effective fertilizers
So, organic matter is one of the compounds most present at the request of household and domestic waste: food scraps, leaves that fall in the garden or indoors, used diapers, are some of the elements that have this matter and that abound at home.
We must emphasize that they can be used as household fertilizers, to grow the plants that we have at home.
Then, they, as such, can be reused, although, it will be necessary to verify that they do not present any type of contamination so that we can use them without problems and can cause the desired effect.
Now, to avoid the aforementioned contamination and carry out the process of accumulating organic remains to be reused, we must comply with some conditions such as: avoid mixing food remains with fat or meat because it takes time to decompose; place the remains in a container with a lid and place it in an outdoor place that gives it shade and sun; place a layer of soil at the bottom of that container and water them.
After one month they will be ready to be used as natural fertilizer for our plants.
In contrast to organic matter, it is found inorganic matter It is not composed of carbon and does not result from the action of living beings but from nature at the behest of chemical reactions.
The molecules of this type of matter are simpler and smaller, such is the case of salts, minerals and chlorides, among others.
