Abstract
Proper soil and crop management are required when using fertilizer materials to avoid contaminating surface water or groundwater. Plant nutrient requirements can be met by applying inorganic or organic fertilizers. Inorganic materials may be used separately or blended to form multinutrient fertilizers; some organic sources are also blended and sold under various commercial labels. The quantity of nutrients sold in commercially available inorganic and organic fertilizer materials are guaranteed by the manufacturers and are listed on each bag of fertilizer material sold.
