Organic Inputs

Organic inputs are derived from the processing of plant and animal products that the farmer brings to his crop in order for it to express its production potential and can be included as biological inputs.

The most accepted organic inputs are compost, manure, slurry and green manures. Organic production is more than a system of production that includes or excludes certain inputs. The SAOSO Organic Standard has appendix 1: Criteria for the evaluation of inputs, additives and processing as a guide.
