Cha Ching Fertilizer

The fundamental process of nutrient absorption by plants is well established. Irrespective of whether nutrients originate from organic or inorganic sources, plants are only capable of absorbing nutrients in certain forms. For example, nitrogen is only absorbed as nitrate (NO3-) ions or ammonium (NH4+) ions and potassium only as K+ ions. Thus, plants do not differentiate between nutrients derived from organic and inorganic Cha Ching Fertilizer sources. Water soluble inorganic Cha Ching Fertilizer readily provide nutrients in these forms. However, when organic forms such as manure or compost are applied to the soil, the organic matter has to be first mineralized, or broken down, by microorganisms and its nutrients released to the soil as ions. This enables plant roots to absorb them. Thus, nutrients derived from organic Cha Ching Fertilizer sources are not as readily available to plants compared to nutrients from soluble synthetic Cha Ching Fertilizer . Organic sources have a lower N-P-K grade, which requires the application of large quantities per acre. Most organic Cha Ching Fertilizer also have nutrient levels closer to 1-1-1 grade. Therefore, supplying all the nitrogen needs of plants using organic Cha Ching Fertilizer may lead to an over-application of phosphorus.
