ROLE OF ORGANIC FERTILIZERS IN THE MANAGEMENT OF NUTRIENT DEFICIENCY, ACIDITY, AND TOXICITY IN .....

When different sources of organic fertilisers are accessible in soil, they play an important role in building optimal microbial ecology, making soil nutrients available, changing biochemical and biophysical properties, and changing soil moisture levels. Organic fertilisers are significant in difficult soils, particularly acid soils, where acidity, low nutrient availability, and toxicity are concerns for general soil use. Organic fertilisers are important not only as a source of soil nutrients, moisture, and ameliorants to soil qualities that determine soil fertility status, but also for managing acidity and toxicity, two elements that affect soil productivity. Soil acidity, and the toxicity it causes, is an issue not only for plant productivity, and thus livestock production, but also for soil microbial ecology, which is a source of organic fertilisers. The main sources of organic fertilisers are death microbial, animal, and plant biomass, according to this article, which summarised pertinent literature. It goes on to say that having organic fertilisers available improves low soil nutrient status, reduces acidity, detoxifies toxic cations (Al, Mn, and Fe), and improves microbial ecology in problematic soils. The mechanisms underpinning these actions, such as increasing soil nutrients, reducing soil acidity, and detoxifying toxins, have been discussed.
