Fertilizers from the farmyard should not be mixed with alkaline fertilizers such as wood ash, lime nitrogen, quicklime, or calcium magnesium phosphate. This is because human and animal urine contains a high amount of nitrogen, and when combined with strong alkaline materials, it can cause neutralization, leading to a loss of effectiveness.
Superphosphate should also not be mixed with alkaline fertilizers like wood ash or lime nitrogen, as this can reduce the availability of phosphorus to plants. Similarly, insoluble phosphate fertilizers such as rock phosphate or bone meal should not be combined with alkaline substances. Doing so can make these fertilizers even less soluble, preventing crops from absorbing them properly.
Alkaline fertilizers like calcium magnesium phosphate should not be mixed with ammonium-based nitrogen fertilizers. This combination can increase ammonia volatility, which reduces the overall efficiency of the fertilizer. Ammonium-based products like ammonium bicarbonate, ammonium sulfate, ammonium nitrate, and ammonium chloride are especially sensitive to this reaction.
Uncomposted farmyard manure should not be mixed with ammonium nitrate. Since raw manure needs to decompose before it can be used by plants, mixing it with ammonium nitrate can cause nitrogen loss during decomposition. This not only reduces the value of the manure but also diminishes the effectiveness of the fertilizer if applied together.
Chemical fertilizers should never be mixed with bacterial fertilizers, such as those containing rhizobia. Chemicals often have high corrosiveness, volatility, and moisture-absorbing properties that can kill or inhibit the beneficial bacteria in biological fertilizers, rendering them ineffective. It’s important to keep these two types of fertilizers separate to ensure optimal results for plant growth and soil health.
