| Feature | Organic fertilizers | Synthetic fertilizers |
|---|---|---|
| Nutrient concentration | Lower concentrations, thus greater amounts must be used | Higher concentrations, thus smaller amounts can be used |
| Consistency | The amount of nutrients varies | Defined amount of nutrients |
| Convenience for large farmers | Small packets and “raw” forms of organic products typical on the market are not practical for large-scale farmers | Numerous package sizes and forms of chemical products to suit the needs of large farmers |
| Nutrient release rate | The rate of nutrient release is optimal for plant uptake | Nutrients are rapidly released in quantities that may be excessive for plant uptake |
| Safety for plants | Relatively risk-free; root burns are extremely seldom | Because of the high salt content, there’s a high risk of burning plant roots or leaves |
| Effects on soil | Help keep the soil healthy by adding organic matter | Deleterious effects on soil microbiology and chemical structure over time |
| Safety for the environment | Minimal risk of environmental pollution | High risk of leaching and greenhouse gas emissions |
