New Fertilizer Ammoniated Peat Promises Nitrogen Mix
Ammoniated peat, a new fertilizer material, is being developed by the US Department of Agriculture. The process heats ammonia and peat under pressure to form insoluble nitrogen compounds while leaving some ammonia in water soluble form. The product, up to 20 percent nitrogen, could cut freight costs and combine fast and slow acting nitrogen sources. Raw peat adds soil organic matter and acts as a conditioner in mixed fertilizers.
