Human, through his activity, primarily agricultural production, can increase or decrease the fertility of the soil, one of its most important properties for food production. Soil fertility is a dynamic state of all physical, chemical and biological properties and processes in the soil, on which the productivity of production depends. The intensive using of soil over the last decades has greatly influenced the change in its properties. The deterioration of soil properties was equally contributed by the chemicalization of agriculture, as well as the more intensive using of agricultural mechanization. The most important harmful processes that take place in agricultural soil are: decrease in the content of organic matter, deterioration of the structure, compaction and contamination of the soil, salinization, alkalization, acidification... The system of organic production implies the application of appropriate agrotechnical measures such as crop rotation, reduced tillage, application of organic and green manures, cultivation of cover crops and plowing of crop residues. All these measures lead to the activation of microbiological processes and the improvement of physical, chemical and microbiological properties of the soil with reduced erosion. Due to reduced manure production, there is a need for finding alternative organic materials that could replace it and increase soil fertility.
