I never said it would. I wrote that organic fertilizer is beneficial to the micro-organisms in the soil:

I use organic fertilizers primarily for the health of the microorganisms in the soil. I don't see much point in mixing organic and inorganic fertilizers for that reason.
To a large degree, adding chemical nitrogen negates that benefit.
