Night Soil

human urine and feces used as an organic fertilizer. Fertilizers derived from night soil contain approximately 7 percent dry matter, including 1.1 percent N, 0.26 percent P₂0₅, and 0.22 percent K₂0. They make up part of the content of domestic sewage. Night soil in the form of poudrette, obtained by processing with chlorine and subsequent drying, is a principal fertilizer for fodder crops, hemp, and potatoes; its use is prohibited for berry and vegetable crops. It is also used in the preparation of composts.
