Excess Fertilizer Use and Soil Health
One of these unsustainable methods is the widespread use of chemical fertilizers. Such fertilizers harm the soil and limit the possibility of growing healthy crops in the future. Here, we discuss the agricultural industry's excess use of chemical fertilizer, how this impacts soil health, and what alternative options we have.Baca selengkapnya -
FERTILIZERS’ IMPACT ON SOIL HEALTH COMPARED
Ekrem Ozlu of the University of Wisconsin-Madison and his team studied two fields in South Dakota. From 2003 to 2015, the research team applied either manure or inorganic fertilizer to field plots growing corn and soybeans. They used low, medium, and high manure levels, and medium and high inorganic fertilizer levels. They also had a control treatment of no soil additives to provide a comparison.In the summer of 2015, they collected soil samples at a variety of depths using a push probe auger. Then they analyzed the samples.Manure helped keep soil pH—a measure of acidity or alkalinity—in a healthy range for crops. Inorganic fertilizer made the soil more acidic.Baca selengkapnya -
The Impact of Fertilizers on the Environment: Inorganic vs. Organic
Fertilizers play a vital role in modern agriculture, significantly increasing crop yields and feeding a growing population. However, it is important to understand the potential environmental impacts associated with their use. In this article, we will delve into how fertilizers can affect soil health, groundwater, and the atmosphere. We will also explore the differences between inorganic and organic fertilizers in terms of their environmental implications.Baca selengkapnya -
The Pros and Cons of Organic Fertilizers
There are many advantages to using organic fertilizers. That’s why we, at Emerald Lawns, use them as often as we can. We prefer them. However, there are some disadvantages too. In this article, we’ll go over the advantages and disadvantages of using organic fertilizers so you are aware of the reasons why we may occasionally opt to use a synthetic fertilizer.Baca selengkapnya -
What Are The Advantages Of Organic Fertilizers?
Soil and crop health are two primary factors that farmers should think about when deciding which type of fertilizer to use. As the sustainable agriculture movement gains momentum, the advantages of organic fertilizers — which improve soil health, crop yields, and agricultural resilience — should become more widely recognized.Baca selengkapnya -
Chemical Fertilizers and Their Impact on Soil Health
Soils provide important ecological services for the maintenance and survival of life. Soil health management is critical to maintaining biodiversity and ensuring sustainable agricultural production. Soil health is regulated by soil properties, namely physicochemical and biological properties. Modern agriculture relies heavily on chemical fertilizers. These are inevitable threats to agriculture. Nonetheless, they remain an important tool for global food security. As sustainable agriculture becomes a global goal, the ill effects of chemical fertilizers cannot be ignored. Fertilizers play a vital role in increasing crop yields and soil fertility. There are many kinds of chemical fertilizers, such as nitrogen fertilizer, phosphorus fertilizer and potassium fertilizer. The use of fertilizers not only increases crop yields, but also alters the physicochemical and biological properties of the soil.Baca selengkapnya -
What is the Difference Between Compound Fertilizer and Mixed Fertilizer?
Compound fertilizers and mixed fertilizers are produced in different ways. Compound fertilizer is produced by chemical reaction granulation of raw materials. The main processes include drum granulation, disc granulation, spray granulation, tower granulation, etc. These processes are mostly found in larger-scale and well-equipped factories. . Due to the limitations of the production process, the proportions of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are relatively fixed, resulting in fewer specifications to choose from.Baca selengkapnya -

Organic Fertilizer VS Inorganic Fertilizer
In the world of agriculture, the choice between organic fertilizer use and inorganic fertilizers is a critical decision that impacts plant growth, soil health, and environmental sustainability. The subtle difference between inorganic and organic fertilizers are briefly discussed in this article, along with a comparison of their composition, effects on soil, environmental effects.Baca selengkapnya
