In order to live, man has constantly invented and improved his tools and techniques, from the hoe to the tractor, which allowed him to save his strength and increase the cultivated areas as the population grew.Agri promo, 1980, underlines that humus, compost, manure, green manures have allowed to improve the structure of the soil, to make it fertile as long as possible.
