Description

Crushed Bone Meal | 50kg is a natural, slow-release organic fertilizer made from finely ground animal bones (typically cattle or poultry). Packaged in a 50kg bag, it’s ideal for large-scale agriculture, horticulture, or soil enrichment projects. Rich in phosphorus (P) and calcium (Ca), it promotes root development, flowering, and fruiting while improving soil structure.

 Key Features & Specifications of Crushed Bone Meal | 50kg:

  1. Composition:

    • Phosphorus (P₂O₅): 15–25% (primary nutrient for roots/flowers).

    • Calcium (Ca): 20–30% (strengthens cell walls, prevents blossom-end rot).

    • Trace Minerals: Magnesium, zinc, and collagen-derived nitrogen (3–4%).

  2. Processing:

    • Steamed & Sterilized: Kills pathogens, enhances nutrient availability.

    • Finely Crushed: Particles <2mm for quick soil integration.

  3. Certifications:

    • OMRI Listed: Approved for organic farming (verify regional standards).

    • Heavy Metal Testing: Compliant with safety limits (e.g., <10ppm cadmium).

Applications of Crushed Bone Meal | 50kg 

  1. Agriculture:

    • Pre-Planting: Mix 100–200kg/ha into soil for phosphorus-demanding crops (e.g., tomatoes, potatoes, bulbs).

    • Orchards/Vineyards: Apply 50–100g per tree at the root zone to boost fruiting.

  2. Gardening:

    • Vegetables/Flowers: 1–2 cups per m² worked into topsoil.

    • Compost Boost: Accelerates decomposition (mix 1kg per 100kg compost).

  3. Lawn Care:

    • New Turf: Apply 5kg per 100m² before seeding for root establishment.

 Benefits:

  • Slow-Release: Feeds plants for 4–6 months (reduces leaching).

  • pH Neutral: Safe for most soils (unlike lime or sulfur).

  • Microbial Support: Enhances soil microbiome activity.

 Safety & Storage:

  • Handling: Wear gloves/mask to avoid dust inhalation.

  • Storage: Keep bag sealed in a cool, dry place (prevents moisture absorption).

  • Pest Note: May attract scavengers; bury or cover after application.
