5.ACTUAL METHODOLOGY FOLLOWED :
Most of the time, the average person treats the soil "like dirt". A
wise farmer/rancher will care for the soil because he knows that
man is dependent on the top 6 inches (15.2 centimeters) of soil. In
the plant-animal-soil continuum, soil is often neglected because it
does not indicate stress in an obvious way. Animals and plants
show physical symptoms but the soil must be looked at more
carefully to monitor good health.
Soils feed the plants which in turn feed the animals that feed us.
Including soil in this important chain will help guarantee its
success. Soil provides the support or foundation for plants and
most of the nutrients. Soil is accumulated decomposing plant and
animal matter with aging parent material. As the soil
5
components break down, elements are released and become
available to plants as nutrients. However, naturally this process
takes a long time and the soil will only be a result of the parent
material, climate, those living organisms once living there,
topography, and time. So what is made available to a plant at a
certain time may not be exactly what a growing plant needs.
Fertilization is supplementing the existing soil with additional,
needed nutrients. Fertilizing wisely increases yield, quality
(nitrogen content and digestibility), and profits.

fertiliser, as the crops can use their nutrients sooner. So, plants
containing a lot of lignin rot more slowly and make a poor
organic fertiliser.

REMEDIES TO INCRESE THE FERTILITY
OF SOIL :
Nitrogen Sources
different amounts of
nutrients depending on the animal species, feed, bedding and manure
storage practices. The amounts of nutrients that become available to the
plants depend on the time of year the manure is applied and how
quickly it is worked into the soil. Existing soil conditions also affect how
quickly the nutrients in the manure are available.On average, cow
manure contains approximately 10 to 15 pounds of N, 5 to 10 pounds of
phosphorous, and 10 to 12 pounds of potassium per ton.
Poultry manure has a higher percentage of all three elements.The
National Organic Program (NOP) is very specific about the use of
manure. Composted manure is definitely preferred, but if raw manure is
applied, then the timing of
application is critical. Where raw manure is used on land growing crops
for human consumption, it must not be applied within 120 days of
harvest for a crop where the edible portion touches the soil, or 90 days
of harvest where the edible portion does not touch the soil.
8
is made in this manner, then it can be applied to plants with no
restrictions of timing.
If you aren’t sure whether your compost has meet all the
requirements, especially if you are using purchased compost, then
the timing restrictions of raw manure will probably apply. If
additives are used, according to NOSB recommendations, the tea
and brewing process must undergo a rigid series of tests to
9
make sure no harmful pathogens are being produced or the 90-
120 day timing restrictions apply. Check with your certifier!

8.Dried raw seaweed tends to contain about 1 percent nitrogen, a
trace of phosphorus, and 2 percent potash, along with magnesium,
sulfur, and numerous trace elements. Raw seaweeds are prepared
by various methods and sold under a number of brand names.
Animal Byproducts
11.Fish meal and fish emulsion are, like most animal by- products,
rich in nitrogen. Fishmeal contains about 10 percent nitrogen
along with about 6 percent phosphate. It is most frequently used
as a feed additive but can be used as a fertilizer. Fish emulsion
usually has an analysis around 4-4-1. Fish emulsion may be
fortified with chemical fertilizer, so organic farmers should be
suspicious of any product with phosphorus content in excess of 4
percent. Fish products may
11
also contain synthetic preservatives, stabilizers and other
products prohibited under the NOP.
