Organic fertilizers are fertilizers derived from natural sources, including plants, animals, or minerals, that are used to improve soil fertility. Organic fertilizers release nutrients slowly as they break down, providing a consistent and long-term supply of essential elements that plants need for growth. Organic fertilizers are utilized in fields growing food crops, lawns and gardens, and controlled environments such as greenhouses. The demand for organic fertilizers is influenced by rising awareness of sustainable farming practices, governmental support for organic agriculture, and the increasing demand for organic food. Additionally, factors such as soil degradation due to the excessive usage of chemical fertilizers and the environmental concerns associated with synthetic fertilizers propel the usage of organic fertilizers. However, the lower nutrient content compared to synthetic fertilizers results in a need for larger product quantities, which can be inconvenient and cost-intensive. Also, the slow release of nutrients affects the immediate availability of plants, and the variation in the quality of organic fertilizers poses a challenge for consistent results. Nevertheless, the ongoing advancements in production technology, processes, and innovations such as fortified organic fertilizers are expected to create growth opportunities for the organic fertilizers market in the coming years.

Source: Potential adoption of animal-based organic fertilizers

Animal-based fertilizers are derived from animal waste or by-products such as manure, bone meal, blood meal, and fish emulsion. Animal-based fertilizers are rich in nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium, essential nutrients for plant growth. Animal-based fertilizers are particularly beneficial for soils that require a boost in fertility and are favored for their nutrient-dense content that promotes healthy plant development. Mineral-based fertilizers comprise naturally occurring mineral deposits such as rock phosphate, greensand, and gypsum. These materials slowly release nutrients into the soil, making them a sustainable choice for long-term soil fertility. Mineral-based fertilizers are primarily selected by those seeking to gradually improve soil texture and fertility. Plant-based fertilizers include compost, cottonseed meal, alfalfa meal, and seaweed extracts. Plant-based fertilizers often provide a balanced nutrient profile and improve soil structure and water retention. Plant-based fertilizers are generally utilized in agricultural contexts where there is a need for gentle nutrient release and soil conditioning.

Crop Type: Significant usage of organic fertilizers for cereals and grains to ensure high yields

Cereals and grains generally require a steady supply of nutrients to ensure high yields. Organic fertilizers for cereals and grains may include composted animal manures, green manure, and bone meal to encourage strong root development and plant health. Fruits and vegetables are high-value crops with growing demand for organic cultivation practices. Fruits and vegetables benefit from organic fertilizers that balance nutrients and enhance soil microbiology, such as seaweed extracts or fish emulsions that can provide micro-nutrients. Oilseeds and pulses can benefit from organic fertilizers by contributing to the enhancement of oil content in seeds and supporting the nitrogen-fixing capability of pulses. Organic options such as rock phosphate, animal-based fertilizers, and plant composts suit these crop types.

Form: Growing adoption of liquid organic fertilizers for effective supply of nutrients

Dry organic fertilizers are often in the form of granules, powders, or pellets. Dry organic fertilizers are known for their slow-release properties, which provide a consistent supply of nutrients over a more extended period. The dry form is particularly suitable for pre-plant soil preparation, as it allows the nutrients to build up in the soil before planting. Dry fertilizers are often favored for large-scale agricultural use due to their ease of storage, handling, and lower transportation costs. Liquid organic fertilizers are concentrates or solutions that provide a more immediate supply of nutrients to plants. Liquid organic fertilizers are highly effective for plants requiring a fast nutrient boost. Liquid organic fertilizers can be utilized as a foliar spray or applied to the soil.

Application: High preference for soil treatment method for organic fertilizer application

Seed treatment involves the application of organic fertilizers directly onto seeds before sowing to coat them with essential nutrients that boost germination. The seed treatment method is preferred for its cost-effectiveness and the promotion of healthier seedling development. A quintessential need-based preference for seed treatment is observed in crops requiring early protection from soil-borne diseases, pests, or nutritionally deficient soils. On the other hand, soil treatment refers to the use of organic fertilizers to the soil itself. The preference for soil treatment methods is particularly high for revitalizing and maintaining the health of the soil in the long term. Soil treatment is essential in organic farming systems where soil fertility is the cornerstone of productivity.
