Benefits of Nif Organic Fertilizer

Click here to order Nif Organic Solid Farm Fertilizer.

• Organic fertilizer increases the amount of organic matter in the soil and provides versatile benefits thanks to the microorganisms it contains.
• Organic fertilizer regulates the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the soil and increases plant nutrients that are limited in the soil.
• Organic fertilizer increases the water retention capacity of the soil structure.
• Organic fertilizer regulates the soil’s temperature, color, and water permeability.
• Organic fertilizer facilitates the soil’s workability and cultivation.
• In heavy soils, it loosens the tight structure formed by clay minerals, facilitating soil cultivation and aeration.
• It promotes a stronger root system and the formation of more fibrous roots.
• It improves fruit aroma and increases product quality and yield.
• The humus it contains forms complexes with clay minerals in the soil, making nutrients such as N, P, and K, which plants cannot utilize, available.
• 1 kg of NIF Organic Fertilizer is sufficient to replace 10 kg of farmyard manure.
• Nif Organic products are produced with advanced technology. They have undergone heat treatment. Thus, they possess Organic Agriculture (Ecocert) Certification. They comply with European and American organic farming standards (NOP-EU).
• Our products are specially developed to achieve the best efficiency in all soil types and are completely natural.

Organic fertilizer is a material prepared from waste or by-products of living organisms (plants, animals, etc.) that contains plant nutrients in organic compounds, with its primary purpose being to improve the physical and chemical structure of the soil and facilitate the uptake of plant nutrients.

 

For years, the use of chemical fertilizers, while increasing yield, has also caused soil fatigue and a decrease in vitality. For example, while 1 gram of soil should contain 27 billion microorganisms, this number has now fallen to millions and hundreds of thousands. For this reason, soils have become impoverished. It is necessary to enrich these soils again, rejuvenate them, and replenish the eroded organic matter. Organic matter supplementation is inevitable for soils. Without organic matter supplementation, soils will begin to dry out. Organic matter supplementation can also be achieved through organic fertilizer.

 

Benefits of Organic Fertilizer

• Organic fertilizer is organic matter that retains water and oxygen in the soil.
• Organic matter is the most important factor that absorbs nutrients and accelerates microorganism activities.
• It is the most important factor that helps rebuild the natural balance lost due to faulty practices in the ecological system.
• It is the most important input for a traceable and sustainable production system for humans and the environment.
• Organic fertilizer is an alternative that eliminates the use of synthetic chemical pesticides.
• If chemical fertilizer is used together with organic fertilizer, chemical fertilizer use is reduced. It causes less damage to the soil.
• Products grown with organic fertilizer are very important in terms of the benefits that agricultural products offered for human consumption will bring.

Application Method of Organic Fertilizer

• For perennial plants, organic fertilizer is used depending on the age of the tree. For example, 1 kilogram of organic fertilizer for a 1-year-old tree, 5 kilograms for a 5-year-old tree, 8 kilograms for an 8-year-old tree, and between 8 and 10 kg of organic fertilizer for trees older than 10 years. It is applied in January, February, and March, around the tree’s crown projection, at a depth of 10–15 centimeters, and then covered.
• For annual plants, it is applied at a rate of 300–350 kilograms of organic fertilizer per decare. For example, for products such as peppers, eggplants, cotton, corn, melons, watermelons, and tomatoes, it is covered at a depth of 20–25 centimeters during the last cultivation. (In January, February, March)
• For annual plants (wheat, barley, rye) in dry farming, 150–200 kilograms of organic fertilizer per decare.
• For annual plants (wheat, barley, rye) in irrigated farming, 200–250 kilograms of organic fertilizer per decare is applied during the last cultivation before planting.
• In greenhouses, 300–350 kilograms of organic fertilizer per decare is applied as preparation before seedling planting.
• In pots, during pot changes, 50–70 grams of organic fertilizer is applied according to the pot’s volume.
• For lawn areas, 300–400 grams of organic fertilizer per square meter is used.

Effect of Organic Fertilizer on the Physical Properties of Soil

• It increases the water retention capacity of the soil.
• In soils rich in organic matter, plants require less water. This prevents unnecessary water consumption in irrigation.
• Organic fertilizer darkens the soil’s color, allowing it to absorb more heat.
• It increases soil permeability, facilitating air, water, and moisture absorption.
• It removes salt from the root zone of plants in the soil, preventing damage to plants.

Effect of Organic Fertilizer on the Chemical Properties of Soil

• Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium become effective with humus.
• It balances the soil’s nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium requirements.
• It increases the soil’s nutrient retention capacity (cation exchange capacity).
• It ensures that plant nutrients in the soil are kept in a form available to plants.
• As organic matter decomposes, it converts nitrogen, which cannot be stored in the soil, into nitrogen bacteria in a balanced manner.
• It dissolves lime that water cannot dissolve, and the carbon dioxide released from this dissolution is used in photosynthesis, which is crucial for plants.
• If used with powdered sulfur, it helps reduce the pH of soils, which is the biggest problem in our soils.
• It converts iron, which is necessary for plant growth in the soil, into a form that plants can absorb.
• It makes nutrients that are in an unusable form in the soil beneficial.
• Organic fertilizer increases plant growth rate by increasing cell division in the plant.

Effect of Organic Fertilizer on the Microbiological Activity of Soil

• It increases microbiological activity in the soil.
• It makes nutrient elements available as a result of biological activity in the soil.
• It increases the microorganism population in the soil.

 

Fertilizers are purchased from modern farms engaged in cattle breeding in various regions. The journey of the collected fertilizers at our facility takes approximately 6 months. They are successively subjected to resting, fermentation, and composting processes. The rested fertilizers are arranged in rows 2 meters high and 200 meters long on very large concrete areas. The important points here are that the initial moisture content of the fertilizers is 40%–65%, and the air temperatures are above 30°C. They are subjected to fermentation by mixing once every 2-3 days with a composting machine called Topturn. Temperatures are measured frequently. Temperatures are expected to rise to 65°C–70°C. This process continues until unwanted harmful organisms such as nematodes, pathogens, fungi, and weed seeds are eliminated. After this fermentation, they are subjected to a heat treatment system. The hygienic, sterile, and healthy fertilizers are then subjected to grinding and screening. They are transferred to the bunkers in our facility, and in our filling unit, organic fertilizers are packaged into 25-kilogram bags and offered to consumers. Organic fertilizers are registered and licensed by the Ministry of Food, Agriculture, and Livestock, and also certified as EU, NOP, and TR by the organic fertilizer inspection body. Organic fertilizers are produced with advanced technology. The plant nutrients, organic matter, and humic + fulvic acids they contain have very important effects on soil and plants.
