Is NSN not too soluble to be used in organic agriculture ?
The intended use of NSN (and of all quick (already authorized)acting N-carriers for that matter) in organic agriculture should be to improve N-efficiency and decrease N losses during some critical growing stages and by the same token improve crop quality and yield. At these particular growing stages this can only be achieved if that N source is plant available and thus present in the soil solution. Therefore solubility is essential in this context. Further potassium sulphate, magnesium sulphate, patentkali, sodium chloride and other nutrients like micro-elements in the form authorized in organic farming are “immediately soluble without being digested by soil organisms”. • 8. How should NSN be used in organic agriculture ? NSN was never intended to be used in organic farming as sole source of N but only in harmonious complementary synergetic use with already authorized organic amendments using the strength of both types of input to bridge the critical nutritional N-gap.
