Because organic fertilizer has less chemical components and abundant fertility, it can play a fertilizer effect on the growth of crops. There are many resources that can be used to compost agricultural organic fertilizer, such as weeds, fallen leaves, garbage, livestock and poultry manure, etc. As long as they are treated in a certain way, these wastes can become renewable resources. Let's learn about the production methods of agricultural organic fertilizer:
1. The procedure for composting to make organic fertilizer.
First, cut the raw material straw (weeds, fallen leaves, garbage and other materials containing cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin) into 6-7 cm long. 300 kg of horse manure (or pig manure and cow manure). Mix and stir evenly in a ratio of 100 kg of feces and urine, and pile them into a rectangular pile 1.7-2 meters high and 5-6.7 meters wide. Finally, pour 700-800 kg of water, and cover the surface of the compost with a layer of 3-6 cm thick fine soil. After about a week, the pile temperature will rise to about 60-70℃ (the winter time is relatively long), and it can be piled up once after 10 days, and then water can be added; after the pile temperature rises for the second time in 10 days, the second pile is carried out, and water is added again.
The sign of organic fertilizer compost rot is that the compost material (such as straw) is almost black, rotten, and smelly. At this time, the compost can be compacted and sealed with soil around it to keep the nutrients ready for use.
2. The key step in making organic fertilizer from compost.
When stacking organic fertilizer, the key step is the heating of the organic fertilizer pile. Generally speaking, the temperature needs to rise to 60-70℃ and be maintained at this temperature for 6-7 days to achieve good fertilizer effect and kill pests. The temperature can be measured with a thermometer, and it can be maintained at 60 for 10 days.
3. Methods of using compost to make organic fertilizer.
Compost organic fertilizer is generally used as base fertilizer, combined with soil turning and application, and fully mixed with the soil. Compost is suitable for all kinds of soils and crops. Usually, sandy soil can be treated with semi-rotted compost, while sticky soil must be treated with fully rotted compost. Applying composted organic fertilizer can increase soil fertility, replenish a large number of soil microbial flora, and provide crops with long-lasting and stable organic fertilizers such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and sulfur, which is beneficial to crop growth.
