Overview

This study compares slow-release fertilizers derived from biosolids and mineral fertilizers, showing FOMI's enhanced fertilizer-use efficiency.

Key Points

  • FOMI released less than 15% of nutrients at 48 hours in soil, demonstrating significant slow-release characteristics.
  • The study found that FOMI exhibited greater water-retention capacity and cation-exchange capacity compared to FOMII and uncoated fertilizers.
  • Kinetic models indicated lower release rates for FOMI, suggesting improved nutrient availability over time.
  • Both slow-release fertilizers returned organic matter to soils, highlighting their potential for sustainable agriculture.
