Organic Amendments for Landscape Soils [PDF]
, 2021 Author(s): Downer, Jim; Farber, Ben | Abstract: Organic amendments are added to modify a soil in the zone where roots will grow— unlike mulches, which are applied to the undisturbed soil surface. These materials may be incorporated into landscape soils to improve plant growth. However, research has not shown that adding amendments to planting holes for

Alternate Nitrogen Amendments for Organic Fertilizers [PDF]
The Scientific World JOURNAL, 2001 The use of compost or manure in agriculture as an organic source of nutrients is common in many tropical, developing countries like Nigeria. One of the drawbacks of such materials is their low nitrogen (N) content (=1% N). Farmers commonly use chemical N fertilizers such as urea, calcium ammonium nitrate (CAN), and NPK formulations to obtain better ...
