Benefits of mixing chemical fertilizers with farmyard manure

It can fully supply the nutrients needed for crop growth

Chemical fertilizers are characterized by high nutrient content, quick effect but short duration, and relatively single nutrients; most agricultural organic fertilizers are complete fertilizers, but have low nutrient content, slow effect and long duration. Therefore, mixing chemical fertilizers with agricultural organic fertilizers can make up for each other's shortcomings.

It can reduce nutrient fixation and improve fertilizer efficiency

After chemical fertilizers are applied to the soil, some nutrients are absorbed or fixed by the soil, thereby reducing the availability of nutrients. If mixed with farmyard manure, the contact surface between chemical fertilizers and soil can be reduced, thereby reducing the chance of being fixed by the soil.

It can retain and store nutrients, reduce losses, and improve the conditions for crops to absorb nutrients

Chemical fertilizers have high solubility, and after application they create a relatively high osmotic pressure in the soil, affecting the absorption of nutrients and water by crops, which increases the chance of nutrient loss. If mixed with farmyard manure, this drawback can be avoided.

It can regulate soil acidity and alkalinity and improve soil structure

Farmyard manure is the raw material for the life of microorganisms, and chemical fertilizers supply the inorganic nutrients for the growth and development of microorganisms. Mixing the two can promote the activity of microorganisms, and further promote the decomposition of organic fertilizers.
