Bone Dust

Bone Dust Fertilizer – 100% Fine Powder for Quick Soil Absorption

Bone Dust is a finely ground version of Bone Meal made by crushing raw animal bones into an ultra-fine powder. Unlike Bone Meal, which may contain 25–30% small bone chips (<3 mm), Bone Dust is pure powder form. Its finer particle size ensures quicker nutrient release and instant availability of phosphorus and calcium to crops.

Agricultural Applications

• 🌱 Vegetables & root crops – Garlic, onion, carrots, potatoes, tomato → fast root & shoot growth.
  
  

• 🌱 Flowering & ornamental plants – Provides quick phosphorus for early bud and bloom.
  
  

• 🌱 Nurseries & kitchen gardens – Fine powder form blends instantly with potting soil.
  
  

• 🌱 Plantation crops – Coconut, banana, papaya, oil palm where quick nutrient boost is required.

Key Benefits of Bone Dust

100% fine powder → faster decomposition & quicker availability

Immediate root absorption compared to coarse bone meal

Provides calcium & phosphorus simultaneously

Improves soil structure & microbial activity

Best suited for short-duration crops & high-value horticulture

Recommended Application

Apply 130–250 kg per acre during sowing/planting or mix directly in soil around roots. For potted plants and nurseries, apply 30–80grams per plant depending on size. Being a fine powder, Bone Dust shows results faster than coarse bone meal.
