Abstract

Organic fertilizers are very key in the ‘going green movement’ especially as The World seeks to fulfill its sustainable development goals, SDG numbers 2 (zero hunger) and 13 (Climate Action) [1]. In-arability of farming land has necessitated artificial input of plant nutrients to the soil or directly to plants to increase agricultural production. While the shift towards green farming has more pros than cons, it is prudent to address some of the cons to better the move. One of the cons identified in application of green fertilizers is their inability to address the negative synergy resulting from interactions between Zn2+ and inorganic phosphate groups (Pi) in the fertilizer.
