A Detailed Guide to the Use of Organic Fertilizer Fermentation Agents and Precautions

As people's health awareness rises, organic food is receiving more and more attention, and organic fertilizer will gradually replace other fertilizers and become an indispensable fertilizer in crop growth. Organic fertilizer refers to fertilizer made from animal excreta or animal and plant residues and other by-product resources rich in organic matter as the main raw material, which is fermented and decomposed. So, what is the use method of organic fertilizer fermentation agents? What precautions are there?

I. Introduction to organic fertilizer fermentation agents

An organic fertilizer fermentation agent, namely an organic material decomposition agent, can decompose protein, cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, etc., and is compounded from bacteria, fungi, etc. Organic fertilizer fermentation agents have a high content of effective viable bacteria and strong degradation ability, and can also achieve the effects of raising temperature, deodorizing, eliminating pests and diseases, killing weed seeds and increasing nutrients. Under suitable conditions, they can quickly decompose and mineralize carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, etc. in the compost into simple organic substances, which are further decomposed into nutrients that crops can absorb.

II. What is the use method of organic fertilizer fermentation agents?

1. The general dosage is 0.01%--0.02%

2. Raw and auxiliary materials and requirements:

Main materials: bulk materials such as pig manure, chicken manure, cow manure, quail manure and other livestock and poultry manure, fruit residue, mushroom residue, distiller's grains, furfural residue, etc. Moisture should be controlled at 50%-65%. Fruit residue, furfural residue and others with high acidity should be adjusted in advance with quicklime to a pH value of about 8.0.

Auxiliary materials: rice bran, sawdust, cake meal powder, straw powder, etc. The auxiliary materials just need to be dry, powdery and rich in carbon.

Ratio of raw and auxiliary materials: main material : auxiliary material = 5:1 or 3:1

3. Operation method:

Mix the fermentation agent, main material and auxiliary materials thoroughly and evenly as required. Each pile should be no less than 4 cubic meters, with a height of about 1.2 m; the length is unlimited and the ambient temperature is unlimited. When the pile temperature rises to 50oC, start turning the pile once every three days; if the pile temperature exceeds 65oC, turn it once every two days.

Signs of decomposition: the pile temperature drops, the material is loose, there is no original odor of the material, there is a slight ammonia smell, and the pile is covered with white mycelium.

III. What precautions are there for the use of organic fertilizer fermentation agents?

1. Store in a cool and dry place.

2. Avoid storing and using together with strong acids, strong bases, volatile chemicals and fungicides.

3. According to different materials, ambient temperature, moisture content and other conditions, the dosage may be adjusted as appropriate.

IV. What are the effects of organic fertilizer?

1. Improve soil and build up soil fertility

After organic fertilizer is applied to the soil, organic matter can effectively improve the soil's physical and chemical conditions and biological characteristics, mature the soil, enhance the soil's ability to retain and supply fertilizer and its buffering capacity, and create good soil conditions for crop growth.

2. Increase yield and improve quality

Organic fertilizer is rich in organic matter and various nutrient elements, providing nutrition for crops. After organic fertilizer decomposes, it provides energy and nutrients for soil microbial activity, promotes microbial activity, accelerates the decomposition of organic matter, and the active substances produced can promote crop growth and improve the quality of agricultural products.

3. Improve fertilizer utilization rate

Organic fertilizer contains many nutrients but relatively low concentrations and releases them slowly, while chemical fertilizer has a high nutrient content per unit, fewer components and fast release. When the two are reasonably applied in combination, they complement each other, and the organic acids produced by the decomposition of organic matter can also promote the dissolution of mineral nutrients in the soil and chemical fertilizers. Organic fertilizer and chemical fertilizer promote each other, which is conducive to crop absorption and improves fertilizer utilization rate.

The above is the complete introduction to the use method and precautions of organic fertilizer fermentation agents. Everyone must strictly follow the method in the product instructions. If you are worried that you cannot operate it well, you can also buy finished organic fertilizer products made by regular manufacturers.
