The fertilizer crisis is a fact, especially nitrogenous fertilizers, particularly Urea, which is one of the most widely used chemical fertilizers worldwide. This product provides 46% Nitrogen, which is why it is widely used for most crops. However, with its imminent shortage and high prices, farmers are forced to look for alternatives, and the current trend is to look for organic sources of nitrogen, which we list below.

The Kyminasi Plant Booster (KPB) technology increased yields while improving the size and flavor of peppers. After 3 months, the plants that were treated with KPB produced 15 to 20 peppers per plant and 80% of these peppers were fully grown. The KPB treated peppers had consistent shape and ripeness. The KPB peppers tested at 10 Degrees Brix, which is 40% higher than the average 5 to 7 Degrees Brix rating for these cultivars. The KPB plants were still blooming in September, which is at the end of the season for this farm...

Bacillus thuringiensis, or Bt, is a group of crystallogenic bacillus that includes many variants. The bacteria can produce two major toxins, namely endotoxin (companion cell crystal) and exotoxin, which stop the pests from feeding, and finally the pests die from starvation and poisoning. The effect of exotoxin is slow and obvious during molting and metamorphosis. The effect of this drug is slow, and the effect can only be seen in about 2 days after the pest is fed, and the effective period is about 1 day, so it should be used 2 ~ 3 days earlier than conventional chemical agents, and the effect is better in the early age of the pest. It is safe for fish and bee, but highly toxic to silkworm...

Seaweed fertilizer is a biological fertilizer made of marine plant seaweed extract as the main raw material and scientifically processed. The main components of seaweed fertilizer are natural bioactive substances extracted from seaweed that are beneficial to plant growth and development and mineral nutrients absorbed by seaweed from the ocean and enriched in the body, rich in plant growth regulators, cytokinins, gibberellins Agrochemicals, phenolic polymer compounds, mannitol, betaine and other regulators and alginic acid, vitamins, oligosaccharides and other plant active factors, as well as mineral elements, chelated metal ions and marine biological active substances and trace amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium element. Seaweed extract is also rich in a large amount of non-nitrogenous organic matter, and the mineral elements and rich vitamins such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc and other minerals absorbed and enriched by seaweed that are unmatched by terrestrial plants can be quickly absorbed by plants. Absorption and utilization, stimulating or promoting the growth and development of plants helps vegetables to establish a strong root system and enhance their absorption and utilization of soil nutrients. The cytokinin contained in it can promote cell division, delay cell senescence, and then improve photosynthetic efficiency...

The most common method of plant fertilization is through the root, but this has its deficiencies when it comes to the intake of nutritional elements, for these cases foliar fertilization is a better option. What is foliar fertilization?Foliar fertilization is the method of achieving fertilization through trichomes, stomata, leaf wax layer (cuticle) or through the intake and supply of plant cells (endocytosis). The method of fertilizing through the root has its deficiencies that the foliar method solves, such as:-High pH in the root environment. -Young and underdeveloped roots. -Low evaporation...

Lignin is a phenolic three-dimensional branched network structure polymer, with the same and better properties as humic substances. Lignin has a certain inhibitory effect on soil urease marine properties. The active functional groups in the lignin structural unit have strong adsorption, chelation and complexation capabilities for fertilizer active ions. The modification of chemical fertilizers with lignin as the main material can improve the performance of chemical fertilizers, reduce the water solubility of ordinary fertilizers, reduce environmental loss, and improve the utilization rate of fertilizers; Helps to improve soil performance, increase fertility, improve soil fertility and water retention performance, help plants develop root systems, and better absorb nutrients in soil. Ammonium lignin sulfonate is a multi-component high molecular polymer, which belongs to anionic surfactant, has good water solubility and surface activity, and its appearance is generally yellow (brown) or brown fine powder...
