Chemical fertilizers have been shown to reduce beneficial microbes in the soil. It can take years to rebuild soil structure after being intensly farmed using modern chemical fertilizers. This is a major problem in the American midwest its called the mining of "young coal" carbon is drawn out of the soil by plants but never replaced. Eventually it will not matter how many chemicals we spray on our crops we will have robbed the soil of any available carbon. Adding mollasses and then using chems is just silly. We need to look at soil as a living ecosystem not just a medium.
