Fertilizer use, plant pest control, and agricultural labor hiring in owned land

Chemical fertilizer refers to fertilizer derived from synthetic organic or inorganic substances. Chemical fertilizer must contain one or more plant nutrients, such as nitrogen, potassium, or phosphorus. It may be a single-ingredient fertilizer, e.g., formula 0–0–60, or a mixed chemical fertilizer, e.g., formula 10–10–10. Excluded: 1) Lime, marl, plaster of Paris, or gypsum, which are materials used for soil improvement. 2) Hormones, certain chemicals, or growth stimulants, which are substances used to stimulate plant growth, e.g., applying a growth stimulant to pineapple crowns to induce simultaneous flowering and increase flower production. 3) Rhizobium, a type of microorganism, mixed with soybean seeds before planting to help increase nodule formation on soybean roots. 4) Humic acid, a substance extracted from organic matter, which improves the plant's absorption of applied chemical fertilizer. Organic fertilizer refers to fertilizer obtained from the decomposition of organic materials, both plant and animal, and microorganisms, including: 1) Manure, i.e., organic fertilizer obtained from animal excreta. 2) Green manure, i.e., organic fertilizer obtained by plowing under fresh plants that have grown to an appropriate size into the soil. Nutrients in the fresh plants are decomposed and released for plants after decomposition in the soil. The appropriate period for plowing under plants as green manure is the full flowering stage. Leguminous plants are mostly preferred. 3) Compost, i.e., organic fertilizer obtained by subjecting various organic materials to a composting process until fully decomposed, so that nutrients are converted into a form that plants can absorb and utilize. 4) Other organic fertilizers, i.e., fertilizers other than manure, compost, and green manure, including by-products from certain agricultural industrial factories, whether fully decomposed and ready to provide nutrients to plants or not, e.g., rice straw.
