Nutrient Uptake of Organic versus Mineral Fertilizers in Citrus Trees
Liquid Fertilizers Market by Nutrient Type, by Form, by Mode of Application, by Crop Typeand by Region - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecasts (2016–2021)
(EMAILWIRE.COM, January 28, 2017 ) The main objective of this study was to compare the performance of two liquid organic fertilizers, an animal and a plant-based fertilizer, with mineral fertilization on citrus trees. The source of the fertilizer (mineral or organic) had significant effect in the nutritional status of the organic and conventionally managed mandarins. Nutrient uptake, vegetative growth, carbohydrate synthesis and soil characteristics were analyzed. Results showed that plants fertilized with animal based liquid fertilizers exhibited higher total biomass with a more profuse development of new developing organs (leaves and fibrous roots). Liquid organic fertilization resulted in an increased uptake of macro and micronutrients compared to mineral fertilized trees. Moreover, organic fertilization positively affected the carbohydrate content (fructose, glucose and sucrose) mainly in summer flush leaves. Liquid organic fertilization also resulted in an increase of soil organic matter content. Animal-based fertilizer, due to intrinsic composition, increased total tree biomass and carbohydrate leaves content, and led to lower soil nitrate concentration and higher P and Mg exchangeable in soil extract compared to vegetal-based fertilizer. Therefore, liquid organic fertilizers could be used as an alternative to traditional mineral fertilization in drip irrigated citrus trees.
The reduction in soil quality has thrusted the use of liquid fertilizers that assists farmers to boost their crop return by three to four times.
Moreover, there is also an increase in the demand for the proper utilization of fertilizers since the depletion of soil quality leads to micronutrient deficit in crops. This deficiency of micronutrients in the soil has driven the practice of employing liquid fertilizers.
The growth of the Global Liquid Fertilizers market is majorly driven by factors such as rising demand for high efficiency fertilizers, easy accessibility, and implementation of precision farming. However, factors such as limitations in the supply chain, growing apprehensions over health and environmental degradation, and the high costs involved in handling and storage are restraining the growth of the market.
The Global Liquid Fertilizers market is segmented based on Nutrient Type, Form, Mode of Application, and Crop Type. The market for Liquid Fertilizers, on the basis of Nutrient Type, is classified into Potassium, Micronutrients, Phosphate, and Nitrogen. The Nitrogen segment is the largest segment, by Nutrient Type, whereas the micronutrients segment is anticipated to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. On the basis of Form, the global Liquid Fertilizers market is segmented into Organic and Synthetic. Under this segment, the organic liquid fertilizers are projected to grow at a faster speed than the synthetic fertilizers. On the basis of Mode of Application, the global Liquid Fertilizers market is segmented into Soil, Fertigation, Foliar, and Others. The foliar application of liquid fertilizers is the most frequently used technique as it aids in counterbalancing soil conditions and augmenting plant growth. On the basis of Crop Type, the global Liquid Fertilizers market is segmented into Oil seeds, Fruits & Vegetables, Grains & Cereals, and Others. By Crop type, Grains and cereals lead the global market for Liquid Fertilizers, whereas the fruits & vegetables segment is anticipated to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
