CRUSHED HORNS AND HOOVES
Crushed hoof and horn (CHH) is a slow-release organic fertiliser with high nitrogen content. TheNitrogen present in CHH is not more that 16% and decreases to 13% with the increase of impurities and refining grades. When water is present, CHH swells considerably, then macerates, leaving cavities that makes the soil to aerate and more apt to root respiration and oxygenation processes.
With the aid of soil’s nitrogenising bacteria, keratin creates processes of dual split and then creates ammonia and carbon dioxide; ammonia is easily held by the soil as it has a strong absorbing power; then it nitrogenises and is assimilated by the plants; carbon dioxide creates pressure on the walls of the internal spaces, enlarging it; soil raises, becomes porous like dough; it allows gas exchanges and vegetable life; from this point of view CHH favours soil heating just like organic fertilizers and manure.
FEATURES
CHH have multiple characteristics: besides being a great source of organic nitrogen, its nutrient availability is slower and therefore, being a slow transfer fertiliser, it sustains the crop through its whole cycle. Hence, CHH holds humidity, gradually releasing it during dry weather periods and can be used in cultivation of flowers and for ornamental lawns. CHH notably increases the micro-flora and micro-fauna of the terrain, reforming humus and turning soil soft, allowing root system aeration. CHH used as fertiliser and soil improver have residual effect from previous application thereby, making use of the minor nutrients that may remain in the soil to bring beneficial results to flowers and ornamental lawns.
