Background For Hypothesis
Sources for organic matter- Natural fertilizers- Organic fertilizers- Natural and organic-based fertilizers
The organic matter contained in each differentiates these fertilizer sources from conventional

Background For Hypothesis
Applying these sources at standard rates
Quantities appear to be rather insignificant
I set out to prove they were insignificant!I set out to prove they were insignificant!
That was almost 15 years ago

Empirical Approach Evaluates OM
The term ‘Organic Fertilizer’ - has various interpretations
The phrase:
“ Fertilizers containing organic matter”
- is a scientific discussion

Regulation Of Soil N & Organic Matter
“ the soil organic matter and nitrogen should…the soil organic matter and nitrogen should always be maintained at as high a level as economically feasible.”y

Regulation Of Soil N & Organic Matter
On the subject, Dr. Nyle Brady expresses two definite conclusions:
First The inherent capacity of soils to produce is closely and directly related to their organic
tt d it t tmatter and nitrogen contents.
SecondTheir levels are difficult to maintain.
