Introduction of Fertilizer

What is a fertilizer:

The chemical composition of various essential minerals and elements meant for the regular as well as hastened growth and nourishment of all plants is termed as fertilizer. As these fertilizers have been used invariably to promote and enhance the productivity of commercial crops, therefore they are called agricultural fertilizers.

Organic Agricultural fertilizer:

Organic fertilizers are those fertilizers which are manufactured using organic substances which are bio-degradable. These organic substances are further decomposed and broken into smaller and soluble particles by numerous microorganisms.

Bio-Organic Compost

What is Organic Fertilizer:

Organic fertilizers constitute of decayed or partially decayed organic material which is to a great extent bio degradable. It includes animal waste and rotten green manure .

It is used by the plants with the help of the microorganisms in the soil which decompose the matter releasing the nutrients and thus making it soluble and ready to be taken in by the plants.
Certain examples of organic fertilizers are: Compost, Manure, fish and bone meal, etc.

What is Inorganic Fertilizer:

A chemical Fertilizer is known as inorganic fertilizer when its constituents are originated through synthetic means making them non- degradable.

They contain one or more of the essential growth nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium and various others.

Listed below are a few of the most prominently used chemical fertilizers:

 

• Anhydrous ammonia: A gas which contains 82% nitrogen.
• Urea: A solid compound containing 46% nitrogen gas.
• Superphosphate: Proportioned amounts of nitrogen and phosphate
• Diammonium phosphate: Contains 18% nitrogen and 46% phosphate.

Manure: <]pan>The organic waste of animals is termed as manure when it gets decomposed by the ongoing process of bacteria and fungi. this decomposed matter called manure is then used in agriculture to enhance and promote productivity of soil.

What is the difference between Organic Matter and Manure:

1. There are three types of manure. Animal and plant manure, which are directly added into soil are not considered as organic matter. But the decomposed compost can be considered as organic matter.
2. It takes a long time to make organic matter or humus from the animal and plant materials that have been added to soil.

Bio Organic Compost

Bio-Organic fertilizer is dark brown to blackish,freeflowing,coarse powder.It is free from viable weed seeds,germs and Insect larvae.

Special Properties:

     The Physical Properties: 

• Ensure improvement of soil structure.
• Better root aeration.
• Improvement of soil health.
• Conditioning of clay and sandy soils.

      The Chemical Properties:

• Higher nutrient retention and slow release feeding to the crop.
• Balanced crop nutrition results in forceful appearance of flowering & fruiting cycle.

Bio fertilizer Compost

Bio-Organic fertilizer is made by accelerated bio conversion process under controlled conditions using remains of fruits,vegetables.food and by products of agro process industry.

Uses:
Bio-Organic fertilizer is used alone or in combination with chemical fertilizers at the [ of sowing/transplanting as drilling or broadcast.Since this is a fully digested material it can be applied at any time of the crop feeding stage without the fear of nitrogen robbing effect or creation of heat in root zone as against normal cattle manures.
