A basic understanding of the fertilization resources (FR) char-acteristics is required to drive soil functions following the FR application, and to improve crop productivity. The datasets presented include the FR characteristics, i.e. their nutrient contents and biochemical quality, and their effects on soil in carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) mineralization. We selected nineteen FR from local farmers, from laboratory institution and from commercial producers. The soil used in experiment was sampled in Imerintsiatosika locality, located in the Cen-tral Highlands of Madagascar. Nutrient contents of FR were evaluated by measuring total carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium and sulphur contents. Bio-chemical quality of the products was assayed by fractioning organic matter of organic resources in soluble compartments, hemicelluloses, celluloses and lignin equivalent. Laboratory incubations in microcosm experiments were conducted with the mixture of soil and fertilization resources to determine C and N mineralization rates. Carbon mineralization rate was measured using microgas chromatography, and nitrogen min-eralization rates were analyzed by colorimetry on a continu-ous flow analyzer. M. Raminoarison, E.
