Abstract/Contents: | Profiles several sources of organic nitrogen fertilizers, including alfalfa meal, bat guano, blood meal, bone meal, canola meal, corn gluten meal, and crab and shrimp by-products. States that "organic sources of nitrogen fertilizer are the equivalent of homeopathic plant food. When compared to synthetic products, organics are often deemed a superior source of nitrogen." Lists organic nitrogen sources (ONS) derived from animal and bird by-products; ONS derived from plant by-products; ONS derived from marine by-products; ONS derived from human by-products; and ONS derived from miscellaneous by-products as classifications of organic nitrogen fertilizers. Concludes that "it is a sound practice to use organic fertilizers routinely in turfgrass management." |
