Nitrogen Phosphorus And Potassium

Full organic Nitrogen Phosphorus And Potassium (with contain the three primary nutrients: nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium) offer many benefits to crops compared to chemical Nitrogen Phosphorus And Potassium and even manure. Put against manure variability, they guarantee Nitrogen Phosphorus And Potassium units (N, F, K) while they ensure the absence of weed seeds or pathogens that can migrate from manure to crop. Besides, many kinds of manure are not allowed in organic agriculture: those from intensive livestock farms are likely to be tainted with antibiotics, pesticide residues or heavy metals. On the other hand, some kinds of manure very rich in macronutrients, such as nitrogen, if not mixed with poorer manure or plant remains, tend to imbalance despite composting. Regarding synthetic Nitrogen Phosphorus And Potassium , the benefits are more evident, both for the crop and the environment, in the short and especially in the long term. Although using of inorganic Nitrogen Phosphorus And Potassium contributes with immediately available nutrients to the plant, it is easy to employ them excessively or deficiently. Chemical Nitrogen Phosphorus And Potassium do not amend the soil Besides the chance of contamination of surrounding and underground water, and the increase of toxic salts in the soil when applied in large quantities, soil degradation is a significant risk in the single use of chemical Nitrogen Phosphorus And Potassium , since it eliminates useful microorganisms for plant nutrition. The simple fact is synthetic Nitrogen Phosphorus And Potassium fail to amend the substrate - they only feed the plant. When organic Nitrogen Phosphorus And Potassium are applied, soil microorganisms themselves degrade them until they become water-soluble compounds that plants take advantage from. Another valuable feature is that they achieve the increase of activity in bacteria and fungi that benefit the soil. In fact, this kind of Nitrogen Phosphorus And Potassium boost the proliferation of fungi responsible for plants to take advantage of nutrients. Thus, organic Nitrogen Phosphorus And Potassium improve soil structure, help to retain nutrients, allow carbon fixation in the substrate and enhance the ability of the crop to absorb water.
