PROM
Phosphate Rich Organic Manure — Phosphorus and organic matter in the same bag. Roughly two-thirds of the phosphorus in a straight phosphatic fertiliser gets locked up in the soil before the crop reaches it; composting rock phosphate with organic matter, and the microbes that come with it, releases it more gradually and keeps more of it available. The organic carbon is the part a soil run on DAP alone has been missing.
Fertilisers
FCO: moisture maximum 25%, minimum 90% through a 4.0 mm IS sieve, total nitrogen minimum 0.4%, C:N under 20, pH not above 6.7, and the same eight heavy-metal limits as city compost. The total P2O5 minimum is quoted differently by different manufacturers and must be taken from our own notification rather than from another company's bag.
The FCO sets composition and labelling, not application rate. The rate should come from the state agriculture department or an agricultural university recommendation.

| Technical | Phosphate Rich Organic Manure |
|---|---|
| Chemical group | High-grade rock phosphate co-composted with organic matter |
| Mode of action | Phosphorus is released as the organic fraction breaks down and phosphate-solubilising bacteria work on the rock phosphate, rather than all at once. |
| Resistance group | FCO: moisture maximum 25%, minimum 90% through a 4.0 mm IS sieve, total nitrogen minimum 0.4%, C:N under 20, pH not above 6.7, and the same eight heavy-metal limits as city compost. The total P2O5 minimum is quoted differently by different manufacturers and must be taken from our own notification rather than from another company's bag. |
| Target crops | All crops |
| Target pests / disease | Not applicable — this is a nutrient input, not a crop-protection product. |
| Recommended dose | The FCO sets composition and labelling, not application rate. The rate should come from the state agriculture department or an agricultural university recommendation. |
| Water volume | Applied to soil, not sprayed. Broadcast and incorporate at sowing. |
| Waiting period (PHI) | Not applicable to a fertiliser. |
| Shelf life | To be confirmed |
