Complete organic fertilizer

Organic complete fertilizers such as Fertofit or Animalin consist exclusively of natural raw materials such as horn, feather and bone meal, fermentation residues and beet pulp from sugar processing. Some products also contain special microorganisms that vitalize the soil.

Organic complete fertilizers have a long-term and sustainable effect, because the nutrients in the soil must first be mineralized and thus made available to the plants. In addition, the soil is enriched with humus due to the high fiber content. Depending on the crop, a dosage of 75 to 150 grams per square meter is recommended, but larger amounts do not lead to over-fertilization as quickly.

Blue Grain Entec
The classic blue grain fertilizer is available with different recipes. The original product , blue grain nitrophoska (word creation from the main nutrients nitrate, phosphate and potassium) quickly supplies the plants with all the nutrients they need. Disadvantage: A large part of the quickly soluble nitrate cannot be absorbed by the plants. It seeps into the ground and pollutes the groundwater.

A few years ago, a new blue fertilizer called Blaukorn Entec was developed due to this problem. More than half of its nitrogen content consists of ammonium that cannot be washed out. A special nitrification inhibitor ensures that the ammonium content in the soil is only slowly converted into nitrate. This extends the duration of action and improves environmental compatibility. Another advantage is that the phosphate content has been reduced. Phosphate is often bound in the soil for years and many soils are already oversupplied with this nutrient.

In professional horticulture, Blaukorn Entec is the most widely used fertilizer. It is suitable for all useful and ornamental plants outdoors and in pots. In the hobby sector, this fertilizer is offered under the name Blaukorn Novatec. Because of its rapid effect, you should always use it when there is an acute nutritional deficiency. The risk of overdosing is not as great as with the Blaukorn Nitrophoska, but to be on the safe side, you should use a little less fertilizer than indicated on the package.
