Managing soil nutrients in organic production systems presents multiple challenges for fruit growers. The availability and release rate of nitrogen from organic fertilizers, ease of application, and cost are among the important factors that influence choices in organic production. The authors of a new study say that there has been limited information available about the influence of fertilizer sources of nitrogen that can be injected and fertigated on fruit yield and quality in organic blackberry. Their study revealed two organic fertilizers that the scientists say are "good options" for these crops.
