plowed under the soil and
left to decomposed.
 Organic Fertilizer
Composting – fertilizers
resulting from the process
of allowing the organic

What is Inorganic Fertilizer?

Man-made fertilizer. Chemical products.

Inorganic fertilizers come in different forms:

1. Complete fertilizers – are fertilizers that the 3
major elements are present.
NPK. Ex. Complete fertilizer (14-14-14)
 Inorganic Fertilizer
2. Incomplete fertilizer - are
fertilizers that contain only 1 or 2
major elements.
a.) Ammonium sulphate - 21-0-0
b.) Di-ammonium phosphate-

applies in larger areas
that need several bags of
fertilizers.
Methods of fertilizer application:

Side dressing – the

fertilizers are dissolved in the
right amount of water and
sprinkled in the plants.
Methods of fertilizer application:

Foliar application – it is liquid

fertilizer that is sprayed
directly on the leaves of the
plant.
 QUESTIONS:

mentioned?
2. Was it effective or very effective?
3. Of the two fertilizers discussed, which do you
think is the best to use? Why?
4. Which is more advantageous to use?
Assignment:
Make a research on new technologies of
producing organic fertilizer
