Soil, Fertilizer & WateringWhy does organic nitrogen in mango compost not become available all at once?
Microorganisms break down organic material and convert some nitrogen into mineral forms roots can absorb. Moisture, aeration, temperature, and the material's composition influence that process. Keep compost inputs in the nutrition history without assigning every application an immediate fertilizer equivalent. Availability estimates should fit the actual material and conditions, then be checked against plant and soil observations.
