Abstract

The deterioration of ecosystems due to the negative effects of pollution are worrying and evident, however when it comes to the deterioration of agroecosystems, the concern must be greater and it is essential to take the initiative to reduce or at least try to stop the deterioration of these ecosystems. In the case of a specific agroecosystem, in the coffee plantations of Las Lomas, Municipality of Coatepec, Veracruz, the continuous use of fertilizer of chemical origin has caused that the economy of the producers is reduced. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to intrude producers to make organic inputs that included biopreparations such as fungicides and insecticides, in addition to quality organic fertilizers such as vermicompost, bocashi and nettle slurry, in order to reduce the use of agrochemicals and reduce pollution of both the soil, the environment and preserve their health.
