Trends in the Organic Fertilizer Fermentation Tank Industry
Currently, there is a wide variety of organic fertilizers available, including bio-organic fertilizers, trace-element organic fertilizers, and bio-humic acid organic fertilizers. However, a common feature is that the total labeled content of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in these products typically does not exceed 6%. Friends often confuse the functions of organic fertilizers with those of chemical or compound fertilizers. In fact, organic fertilizers are rich in organic matter and humus, making them crucial for soil restoration. The primary purpose of using organic fertilizers is to address issues such as soil compaction, salinization, poor permeability, and weak nutrient- and water-retention capabilities in farmland. By improving and restoring soil health, we can ultimately enhance crop yields and cultivate more fertile agricultural land.
Applying organic fertilizers to improve farmland can enhance soil fertility and water retention, while also boosting fertilizer efficiency, ultimately helping to gradually reduce the amount of chemical fertilizers needed. However, organic fertilizers contain limited amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, making it difficult to fully meet the nutrient requirements for crops' healthy growth. Therefore, the ideal approach is to combine organic and chemical fertilizers in balanced use. Organic fertilizers primarily work to improve soil structure while providing essential nutrients, so they should be applied early—typically as a base fertilizer before seeding or planting. This is best done alongside deep plowing, ensuring thorough mixing of the soil with the organic matter to achieve optimal soil-conditioning effects. Although organic fertilizers decompose relatively quickly, their topdressing effect becomes less pronounced compared to their initial application as a base fertilizer.
Bio-organic fertilizer can only exert its antibacterial effect after multiplying extensively in the soil; therefore, it should be applied as early as possible before planting, allowing sufficient time for the microorganisms to proliferate and establish themselves. It can be mixed with organic fertilizer and applied directly to the soil, or applied individually into planting holes either before or during planting. Later on, the same bio-fertilizer can be reapplied periodically to strengthen the microbial community, enhance the solubilization of phosphorus and potassium, and improve disease resistance. Different crops have varying fertilizer requirements at different growth stages, so it’s crucial not to over- or under-apply. Instead, fertilization should be tailored according to each crop’s specific needs, while also taking into account the nutrient levels already present in the soil.
The organic fertilizer fermentation tank is an environmentally friendly device that leverages the natural decomposition process carried out by microorganisms. Organic solid waste is continuously subjected to aerobic fermentation inside a sealed tank for about 7 days; after microbial activity, odor removal, and breakdown, it is processed into bio-organic fertilizer suitable for use in agricultural crops.
