Comparing Consumption of Organic Fertilizers

Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), after defining fertilizer as an available food for plants, has divided it into two groups including chemical and non-chemical (natural or organic).

According to such division, natural fertilizers are categorized into three groups:

1. Composts: Compost of urban garbage, agricultural residuals, and livestock wastes.

2. Biological Fertilizers: In such fertilizers there are bacteria and fungi which consolidate and release nitrogen and phosphorous.

3. Processed Fertilizers: In this type, natural primary material including blood or bone of the livestock, and seaweeds have entered the industrial processes and at the end, the final product is produced as a fertilizer which is ready to be used.

Prices are variable based on the tonnage.

Important Features of A-Comp:

1. Mushroom compost thrown away after being used in mushroom saloons are used in an optimum manner (biological).

2. The other important feature of A-Comp is that in addition to preventing from soil-borne and biological diseases and having too much organic material, it activates the dead soil and increases agricultural soil of the country.

3. Increases employment in different fields including fertilizer production, laboratory, transportation, marketing, and selling products (distributors).

4. According to the recent and future droughts, it causes improvement in irrigation efficiency (Optimized water consumption).
