Yeasts are rich in proteins, carbohydrates, organic iron, contain a lot of vitamins, minerals, trace elements, amino acids and growth substances.
In addition, the yeast solution also has a beneficial effect on soil microorganisms. The composition of the soil is markedly improved, from the organic matter nitrogen and phosphorus are formed in it.
