Nettle, as it is commonly known, refers to a group of plants with various uses in agriculture.

Here are some uses of nettle in agriculture:

Organic Fertiliser: Nettle contains high amounts of nitrogen and can therefore be used as an organic fertiliser. It promotes the growth of plants and enriches the soil.

Soil Conditioner Nettle has a regulating effect on soil structure. It loosens the soil and can increase its water holding capacity.

Insect Repellent Nettle can repel some harmful insects. Due to this feature, it can be used as a natural insect repellent in cultivation areas.

Biodiversity Enhancer: Stinging nettle can increase the activity of microorganisms living in the soil, which can increase soil biodiversity.

Disease Preventive: Some research shows that nettle can increase the resistance of plants to some diseases.

Feed and Animal Feed: In some cases, nettle can be used as animal feed. However, it is important that nettle is carefully examined and properly processed to determine if it is suitable for animals, as some species can be toxic.

Pharmaceutical Raw Material: In some cultures, nettle is used for medicinal purposes. Especially the leaves can be used as raw material for teas and medicines used against various health problems.
