Description
Bone meal is a nutrient-rich organic animal feed made from ground animal bones, primarily from cattle or poultry. It is an excellent source of phosphorus and calcium, essential nutrients that support plant growth and development. Phosphorus plays a critical role in root formation, flower and fruit development, and overall plant vigor. Calcium, on the other hand, is vital for maintaining cell wall structure and improves soil health by enhancing its structure and preventing compaction.
As an organic amendment, bone meal is often favored by animal farmers seeking sustainable agriculture practices. It releases nutrients slowly, providing a steady supply to plants over time, which can lead to healthier crops and reduced risk of nutrient leaching into the water supply. Additionally, its utilization reflects a commitment to recycling animal byproducts, contributing to a more circular economy within the agricultural sector.
