Examples of naturally-occurring inorganic fertilizers include Chilean sodium nitrate, mined "rock phosphate" and limestone (a calcium source, but mostly used to reduce soil acidity).
Examples of manufactured or chemically-synthesized inorganic fertilizers include ammonium nitrate, potassium sulfate, and superphosphate, or triple superphosphate.
Organic fertilizers are derived from plant or animal waste and naturally contain important plant nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus. Common organic fertilizers, such as cow manure are worked into the soil during crop planting. Plant wastes also make good fertilizers and can be made by composting plant remnants from crops. Organic fertilizers may also be called bulky fertilizers, since they take up a lot of space and are therefore difficult to transport. Because they cannot be transported easily, most organic fertilizers are used within the local area where they are created.Organic fertilizers are available in many forms, including compost, manure, marine byproducts, meals, minerals and mulch.
