Does seaweed extract for gardening the best organic fertilizer for use in plants?
growth seen in all my plants 07 last spring I think that grows best in warm weather also noticed the flowers and multiple growths on plant hormones which I think is better and more sure what I think all nitrogen fertilizer should be organic in nature
Farmers and gardeners have dealt with "what is the best fertilizer "for literally thousands of years. The link below is a list of plant nutrient content of fertilizers available. The one constant in all this is that plants need to absorb some nutrients to grow and only absorb the nutrients they need to grow as certain specific ions. nitrogen, for example, is a required nutrient for plant growth and is only absorbed in the form of ammonium ions or nitrate ions. Organic fertilizers, including seaweed extract, contain nitrogen, which is usually converted by soil organisms or ammonium nitrate, which can then be used by a plant. Since the nutrient requirements are known for most plants, you can calculate how much fertilizer is needed for your plants and fertilizer applied accordingly. Too much or too little fertilizer each one has negative effects on plants, and possibly the environment, if the fertilizer is organic or inorganic. For example, if I fertilize the grass in my pasture cows with seaweed extract .7% in nitrogen, which would apply 8571 pounds of seaweed extract to 1 acre to obtain the necessary 60 pounds per acre of nitrogen. If you use poultry manure at 3% of nitrogen is needed to apply 2,000 pounds per acre. With these numbers in mind, you can see there are other considerations to be taken into account.
