Organomineral fertilizers, which include sulfur in addition to organic matter, increase the effectiveness of mineral fertilizers by up to twice as much, making them more beneficial in both lime-rich, alkaline pH soils and acidic pH soils. These fertilizers are used as a base application in both fall and spring. Since they do not dissolve in water, they are applied to the soil around the root zone using traditional methods rather than through drip or sprinkler irrigation systems.
