Bone meal
Phosphorus and Calcium rich manure

Bone meal is a mixture of finely and coarsely ground animal bones and slaughter-house waste products. It is used as an organic manure for plants and as a nutritional supplement. As slow-release manure, bone meal is primarily used as a source of phosphorus and protein.

Benefits of using Bone meal

• Increased root growth and development: Due to the presence of adequate amount of phosphorus in bone meal, it helps in better root growth and development of tertiary and beneficial roots.
• Increased nutrient uptake: Enlarged root system of the plants helps in maximum uptake of nutrients.
• Enhances flowering: Phosphorus is also essential for plants to flower, hence adequate supply of phosphorus through bone meal application helps in increasing flower growth.
• Helps in photosynthesis: Bone meal application helps in increasing leaf surface area therefore, helps in increasing photosynthesis and production of more plant food.
• Helps in metabolic functions: Phosphorus is the major component for genetic material like DNA and RNA and helps in making the genetic makeup.
• Helps in controlling blossom end rot in tomato.
