PLANT-BASED FERTILIZER FOR ORGANIC PRODUCTION [PDF]
Acta Horticulturae, 2010 A wide range of potential green-manure crops were tested for their productivity and concentration of plant nutrients, especially N, P, K, S and B. Selected green-manure crops were harvested at several developmental stages. Fresh wet, ensiled, and dried green manures were tested in pot and field experiments with several vegetable crops.

Improving Soil Fertility with Organic Fertilizers
, 2022 Organic fertilizers with low C:N ratios can be applied to supply both macro and micronutrients to the soil. Aside nutrient supply, they can improve soil structure, texture, water holding capacity and nutrient holding capacity. The mechanisms that may interplay to allow organic fertilizers to affect the soil and crop yields may include improved nutrient

Parasitic threat in commercial organic fertilizers [PDF]
Parasitology Research, 2022 AbstractThe use of fertilizers based on sewage sludge is common practice. Due to the possible presence of pathogens and eggs of intestinal parasites like Ascaris sp., Toxocara sp., and Trichuris sp. in these products, it is necessary to control them. The aim of the study was to determine the presence of parasite eggs in commercial organic fertilizers ...
