Castor Leaves: Soil's Gold, Pest's Foe, Plant's Friend

  • Castor leaves enrich soil with essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potash, improving fertility and promoting plant growth.
  • They help retain soil moisture, reduce weed growth, and accelerate compost formation, boosting microbial populations.
  • The leaves' scent, latex, ricin, and alkaloids act as natural repellents against insects, rats, snails, termites, and other pests.
  • Castor leaf extract strengthens plant roots, increases chlorophyll, and protects seeds from fungi and pests, enhancing germination.

Why It Matters: Castor leaves naturally boost soil fertility, plant growth, and pest resistance.
