ORGANIC ENRICHED FERTILIZERS
10 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD USE ORGANIC ENRICHED FERTILIZERS
Crops have higher yields when soils have high fertility levels. Many soils have low
fertility levels - due to heavy cropping, mono cropping, years of fertilization, heavy
irrigation, or other factors.
Organic fertilizers improves soil fertility and have a positive effect on plant growth
through a sustained supply of micro-nutrients and micro organisms
Zambian Fertilizers combines organic material (mainly chicken manure, lime and
gypsum) with chemical fertilizers.
This combination results in: a more available and sustained nutrient source for
growing plants with added soil enriching capabilities.
Urea fertilizer can be coated with certain materials, to reduce the rate at which the
nitrogen becomes available to plants thus increasing availability for up-take by plants.
These slow-release materials result in more efficient nitrogen use by growing plants.
Urea in a slow-release form is popular for use on Cereal crops, golf courses, and other
special lawn situations. Zambian Fertilizers Limited introduces N-Guard Slow Release
Neem oil Coated Urea. N-Guard Urea is a Research driven highly concentrated
product with potent Neem extracts and goodness of neem oil. The benefits of neem
Coated Urea are:
Inhibition of Urea nitrification hence slowing down losses from leaching and
volatilization.
N-Guard Urea reported improved yields of upto 48%.
Due to the Pesticidal properties of neem oil coating, soil born nematodes,
termites and other pests and diseases are controlled.
N-Guard Urea is the next Generation Slow Release Urea.

APPLICATION GUIDE
BANANA MAIZE
1. Apply MAP - at planting mixed with the compost in the planting hole 1. Apply D COMPOUND, R COMPOUND or X COMPOUND- at planting -
-200 grams per planting station. 5 grams per plant
2. Apply BANANA BLEND – 30 days after planting and repeat once every 2. Apply first top dressing of UREA – when plants are knee high – 2.5 grams
month – 100 grams per plant per plant
3. Apply second top dressing of UREA – when plants are hip height– 2.5
grams per plant
NB: Restart the fertilizer cycle after harvesting to strengthen the root system of NB: Split applications of UREA improve the plant's utilization of nitrogen.
If using N-GUARD UREA, no split application is required.
the young suckers.
NB: This application guide is aimed primarily at small to medium scale producers, with moderate yield targets. A 5 gram application is roughly
equal to a teaspoon or a Coca Cola bottle cap.
GENERAL GUIDELINES
Application rates are based on yield targets, e.g. higher yields = higher application rates.
For most crops, place fertilizer 3 cm deep and 3 cm away from the plant to avoid fertilizer scorching.
Irrigate soon after fertilizer application to dissolve fertilizer and make it available for up-take to the plants' roots.
For spacing between rows and between plants, consult with the seed supplier for guidelines for your variety.
For more detailed growing information, ask for our Growing Tips or consult with our agronomist.
