Difference between Organic fertiliser and Mineral fertiliser

The difference between mineral fertilisers and organic fertilisers lies in their composition and function. Mineral fertilisers provide large amounts of the nutrients your plants need to grow strong. Organic sources contain organic carbon, an essential component of healthy soil. Appropriate amounts of these nutrients are very important to be able to produce optimal NPK ratios. NPK stands for the elements nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K), which are required for solid bases.

Mineral fertilisers provide large amounts of the nutrients your plants need to grow strong. Organic sources contain organic carbon, an essential component of healthy soil. Appropriate amounts of these nutrients are very important to be able to produceoptimalNPKratios.NPKstandsfortheelementsnitrogen(N),phosphorus(P), andpotassium (K), whichare required forsolid bases. Organicfertiliser Organic fertilisers are made from natural sources such as bacteria, moulds, insects, earthworms and other organisms. Soil life is stimulated by these natural substances. Organic fertilisers must be converted by specific organisms in the soil to make them availabletoplantsasfood.Theplantitselfdeterminesthetime,amount,andorderof elemental absorption. Organic fertilisers indirectly ensure plant resistance to pests, viruses, and diseases. There are downsides to using organic fertilisers for some growers. You may smell it. This is because they are made from natural materials derivedfrom plants and animals. Mineralfertiliser Mineralfertilisers,alsocalledchemicalfertilisers,arenotallbasedonnaturalmaterials. Because mineral fertilisers are created after a chemical process. However, the substancescontainedinthesefertilisersarealsopresentinthenaturalenvironment. Since no transformation is required, all the elements contained in mineral fertilisers are immediately absorbed by plants. This is seen as an advantage as fertilisers are not dependentonsoillongevity.Plus,thesefertilisersdissolveeasily,soyoucaneasilyadd them to your plants. In addition, the nutrition scheme can be combined as needed, so it alwaysmeets the wishes ofthe breeder. Unlike the use of organic fertilisers, the use of mineral fertilisers gives plants the opportunityto"choose"theelementorelementstheyneedatthatparticularmoment.It gives the possibility of fertilising. Therefore, all the needs of plants calculated in the nutritionschemecan bemet. Cultural"selection" isno longernecessary. Soil life is not supported by mineral fertilisers.
