The C:N ratio could be described as a roller coaster event as additions of organic matter are applied. Without additions of organic matter, that ride is all downhill until nitrogen uptake becomes limited. It is better to supplement organic matter over the course of the year rather than in singular lump sums. This highlights the advantage of the Nutrients PLUS product line.

The fluctuating nature of the C:N ratio is best regulated with organic based fertilizers with a wide array of C:N ratios. Each application from a Nutrients PLUS product contributes to the maintenance of soil organic matter and nitrogen at as high a level as economically feasible.
