USEING ALGAL ORGANIC FERTILIZERS

Revista Ciência Agrícola, 2012
Algae have been explored as inorganic nutrient sources, human and animal food and biochemical products. Several beaches in the northeastern state of Alagoas, Brazil, frequently experience large amounts of algal drifts, representing a huge amount of biomass that could be used as an organic fertilizer for coastal farmers. The purpose of this study was to

Practical fertilization in maize with organic fertilizers

Practice Abstract, 2018
Maize is one of the most important crops, especially on dairy farms. Because dairy farms are so nutrient-rich, they are often associated with nitrate leaching. To avoid N leaching during the winter period, the implementation of catch crops is important. Together with root fertilization and organic fertilizers, nitrogen can be used very efficiently and
