What he is saying is correct but don't pick out one parish be this is happening all across Jamaica,and across the world no body rest land so fertilizer is the only way to keep them growing
You need to make compost you let the cover crop grow and cut it in the first round and let it nourish back the soil then u reap it on the second growth
This is the second Jamaican that I find who understand some of the problems facing the Jamaican farmers. Jamaica fortunately, is blessed with fertile soils but ignorance has allowed much of the soils to degrade. Many farmers boast about growing plants organically, but they burn the abundance of vegetable matter before planting. in addition, they spray the weeds with gramozone/paraquat. The latter is a very toxic chemical which stays in the soil and cannot be beneficial to the organisms in the soil. Fortunately, the depleted soils can be rehabilitated. Even desert soils can be rehabilitated. It just takes time and a bit of education to do so. The young man is correct, and he really understands just how to fix the depleted soils of St. Elizabeth, if only the farmers will listen to him! This is happening to soils, not only, in Jamaica but throughout the world. Farmers tend to believe that adding an NPK fertilizer is good for poor soils. But soils need organic matter to provide a wide range of nutrients as well as to provide aeriation and drainage. Plants need about fourteen other macro nutrients in addition to NPK to grow up healthy. In addition, plants need the 70 or so trace minerals that they themselves do not need but which we need for us to be healthy. To make a complex story simple, most of the world's souls are depleted in nutrients. Farmers harvest their crops year after year and sometimes add an NPK fertilizer. They till the soil, spray chemicals, break up the soil structure and otherwise destroy the organic life in the soil. People who eat the vegetables and fruits become susceptible to all kinds of illnesses that the doctors cannot cure anymore. Has anyone ever wondered why the brightest scientists with all their technology cannot find a cure for cancer? The solution is staring us right in the face. Feed the soil with not only NPK but with the fourteen other macro nutrients that makes plants healthy and also feed the soils with the other 70 or so micronutrients that we need to build up our immune system, then most of these unpleasant diseases/illnesses will go away.
Its not just the land, these verity of seeds, both vegetables, fruits and ground foods are jinectic modified they are not native so they cannot grow well without fertilizer or manors. Manors is better for health.
Big up all farmers... see ur point

Fertilizers and weed killers is destroying jamaica's farmlands
What is he talking about?😂😂😂 the soils in St. Elizabeth are naturally fertile, it full of worm and a thing we called nanny goat😂😂😂😂😂
aww a long time mi nuh si nanny goat eno
That's why people fi be traditional again and cut out this modern mindset. Sizzla dem done a tell unu longtime. Return to your roots.
He have a point...
Some of the things he saying is truth their is a lot that can be done to bring back the soil thru regenerative farming
True True
He said nothing that is true
He is wrong it is some part of Manchester and some part of Southside you cannot find some in the dirt in St Elizabeth I eat the dirt I can tell you❤
Its not just the land, these verity of seeds, both vegetables, fruits and ground foods are jinectic modified they are not native so they cannot grow well without fertilizer or manors. Manors is better for health.
It makes sense 💯
You're not supposed fertilize your land in less than three to five years and I can stand on that
This guy talking bullcrap if it we rain’s don’t even have to plant just drop on the ground anything will grow powerful what a statement! all farms
Why don't you simply get the soil tested before talking crap!!!
Who are you wath fact you have about fool
