Nitrogen Mineralization from Organic Fertilizers and Composts

Speaker: Dr. Joji Muramoto, UCANR Specialist in Organic Production located at the Center for Agroecology, UC Santa Cruz.

Nitrogen management in organic systems involves biological processes, which makes it more complex than in conventional systems. In his presentation, Dr. Muramoto went over some basics of organic nitrogen management and how plant-available nitrogen is released from varying organic fertilizers and composts through a biological process called mineralization.
