OMRI Adds Anaerobic Digestion Categories

(September 5, 2013) OMRI recently added two new categories for fertilizing products made using anaerobic digestion. Products that use only plant material feedstocks will now be listed as Allowed under a new category on the OMRI Products List©. Products that use animal materials as feedstocks, including manure or animal by-products, will be listed in a new Allowed with Restrictions category, retaining the same “days to harvest” restriction as raw manure.

The recently printed 2013 OMRI Generic Materials List© does not reflect these changes. Please download the PDF supplement that includes all category updates here: Download 2013 Generic Materials List Supplement. Please also see the complete list of updated categories below.
