Impact Of Formulated Organic Fertilizers On Soil Physical And Chemical Properties In Sandy Loam Soil Of North-eastern Nigeria
Authors:  Ismaila, M.
https://doi.org/10.31248/JASP2024.471   |   Article Number: E71FDA815
The excessive and sole use of inorganic fertilizers has led to soil nutrient depletion, acidification and loss of soil organic matter. Decreased organic matter content reduces the soil's ability to hold water and nutrients, which can lead to reduced crop yields. Organic fertilizers provide a slow release of nutrients to soil while at the same time improving... Continue here
