Parasitic threat in commercial organic fertilizers. [PDF]

Parasitol Res, 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 ...

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.

Prevalent and highly mobile antibiotic resistance genes in commercial organic fertilizers.

Environment International, 2022
Compost-based organic fertilizers made from animal manures may contain high levels of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). However, the factors affecting the abundance and profile of ARGs in organic fertilizers remain unclear. We conducted a national-wide

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
