Soils are healthier when they are treated with organic fertilizer: Study
Scientists from the Punjab Agricultural University in India found that organic fertilizer can greatly improve soil health. In their study, which was published in the Archives of Agronomy and Soil Science, they noted that the organic amendments, aside from being easily decomposable, can help microbes with carbon sequestration in highly saline soils and effectively minimize nutrient […]

Organic fertilizer can be used to increase crop yield in plants grown in rotation
A study published in the journal Biological Agriculture & Horticulture assessed soil nitrogen oxidation through field incubation, and analyzed the rate of nitrogen release by commercial fertilizers compared with farmyard manure compost. For the study, a three-year organic crop rotation was set up in a field with sandy loam, with a cover crop of rye and vetch for green manure. […]

Sustainable deployment of manure found to increase maize yield
During a multi-year study, Spanish researchers investigated the efficacy of substituting cow manure for chemical fertilizers in maize crop that was being grown in Mediterranean conditions. They found that manure-based fertilization could benefit both the yield of the crop and the quality of the soil. The study was supported by the Universitat de Lleida. Its results were […]

Use of compost and cover crops improves soil nutrients, helps mitigate the impact of extreme weather on vegetable crops
The benefits of using cover crops and compost in growing all sorts of plants have been known for a long time. However, the effects of adding them in specific configurations haven’t exactly been well-studied. In fact, certain long-term impacts of adding organic matter through cover crops (CC) and compost in the soil are poorly understood. […]

Fertilize your garden inexpensively with household waste such as egg shells, coffee grounds, fireplace ash
Fertilizers come in many forms and are employed to boost the soil’s nutrient content and significantly increase the crop’s yield. Many commercially available synthetic fertilizers in the market are laden with chemicals that are not only harmful to human health but may also pose a threat to the environment. However, using organic fertilizer may mitigate […]
