This document discusses different types of fertilizers. It describes organic fertilizers as coming from plant and animal matter, listing examples like animal manure, green manure from leguminous plants, and compost. Inorganic fertilizers are described as man-made chemical products that can be complete with NPK or incomplete with only one or two elements. Advantages of organic fertilizers include no burning effects and enhancing soil fertility, while disadvantages are lack of availability and slow decomposition. Inorganic fertilizers are always available but can cause burning or acidity. The document also lists methods of fertilizer application like banding, broadcasting, side dressing, and foliar spraying.

ALEZHA ROSE T. SERUNDO
Yesterday’s assignment: Give some example of an organic fertilizers. KINDS OF FERTILIZERS What are fertilizers? Are substances which supplement nutrients that are not available in the soil. Fertilizers are classified as: 1. Organic fertilizers 2. Inorganic fertilizers KINDSOFFERTILIZERS
What is Organic Fertilizer?
Is a fertilizer that comes from plant and animal matter.
Animal manure – comes from the waste of animal such as
cow, goat, carabao etc. Organic Fertilizer Green manure – comes from the leguminous plants planted in the area then plowed under the soil and left to decomposed. Organic Fertilizer Composting – fertilizers resulting from the process of allowing the organic matter to decompose in the soil. .
KINDS OF FERTILIZERS
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- 18-46-0 ORGANIC vs INORGANIC Fertilizer Advantages Disadvantages Has no burning effect to Not always available in the the plants and Organic market. enhances the fertility of the soil. Can cause burning effect to the plants when it is applied too closed to the roots causing them to wilt or die. Always available in the Inorganic Can cause soil acidity when market. frequent application and without following soil analysis recommendation. Methods of fertilizer application:
Band application – is done by digging
furrows around each plant. (Pechay, cabbage, citrus and some fruit trees). Methods of fertilizer application:
Broadcast method – it 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: 1. Have you tried using some of the fertilizers 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 THANK YOU! HAVE A BLESSED DAY TO US ALL.
