Will plants with organic fertilizer grow faster?

Answer 1

[1] Theoretically, they wouldn't. [2] But practically it depends upon soil health. Fertilizer applied to stressed or unhealthy soil mightn't be taken up by plant roots. In the case of the latter, for example, nitrogen needs to be in soluble form to be used by roots. Not enough soil moisture means enough nitrogen in soil, but not enough processable by plant parts. [3] And practically it depends upon soil pH. Soil can be acidic, neutral, or alkaline. Most plants grow in the neutral range of 6.0-6.5. Readings above that range are found in alkaline soils, below that range in acidic. Some pH readings other than neutral may make certain nutrients - other than fertilizer's nitrogen/phosphorus/potassium - available in soil, but not to plants. For example, alkaline soils may be iron deficient for plants.

Answer 2

No. There is little difference in the growth rates of plants grown with "natural" fertilizers or with man-made fertilizers. To the extent that there is a difference, the artificial fertilizers seem to be better.

Answer 3

No. Adding fertilizer does not affect on the speed of the plant growth. Fertilizer's job is to feed the plant, so the plant will have all nutrients it needs to grow.

If there is not enough of certain nutrients present, the plant growth may slow down and the plant might grow small and wither.

Giving too much of fertilizer you may do more harm than good, not necessarily to the plant you was trying to help grow, but the plant and animal life around it.

Answer 4

Yes, it makes a difference
