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 ...

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 ...

Organic or mineral fertilization [PDF]
, 2005 To meet Swedish environmental goals organic farming will play an important role in the development of a sustainable and high quality food production system. However, several conflicts exist, such as the achievement of high yields without the use of chemical fertilizers or pesticides and the minimization of nutrient losses.

The evolution of recombination in self-fertilizing organisms [PDF]
Genetics, 2022 Abstract Cytological data from flowering plants suggest that the evolution of recombination rates is affected by the mating system of organisms, as higher chiasma frequencies are often observed in self-fertilizing species compared with their outcrossing relatives.

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

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.
