organic fertilizer

Organic fertilizer is a fertilizer made of natural materials that undergoes little or no processing and includes plant, animal, and/or mineral materials. Organic fertilizer, including our brand "OMC+", is a by product from the processing of animals or vegetable substances that contain sufficient plant nutrients to be of value as fertilizers.

Some organic fertilizers are high in one of the three major nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, or potash,) but low or zero in the other two. Some are low in all three macronutrients.

Organic fertilizers "OMC+" are "fortified" for a higher nutrient analysis. The ingredients used to fortify organic fertilizers are organic materials; for example, rock phosphate to increase phosphorus, or green sand to increase potash.

Organic fertilizers depend on soil organisms to break them down to release nutrients; therefore, most are effective only when soil is moist and warm enough for the microorganisms to be active. Nutrient release by microbial activity, in general, occurs over a fairly long time period.

Organic fertilizers "OMC+" perform important functions. They increase the organic content and consequently the water-holding capacity of the soil. They improve the physical structure of the soil which allows more air to get to plant roots. Where organic mixtures "OMC+" are used for fertilizer, bacterial and fungal activity increases in the soil.
