3 results about "Particulate organic matter" patented technology

Particulate organic matter (POM, macroorganic matter, or coarse fraction organic matter) is defined as organic particles such as soil organic matter or other particulates between 0.053 mm and 2 mm in size. Isolated by sieving or filtration, this fraction includes partially decomposed detritus and plant material, pollen, and other materials. When sieving to determine POM content, consistency is crucial because isolated size fractions will depend on the force of agitation.
