Fortified Organic Fertilizer

Fortified Organic Fertilizer

(e-tesda course on organic fertilizer, 30 May 2022)

Fortified Organic Fertilizer is fertilizer made from carbon-rich and nitrogen-rich materials mixed with several organic concoctions and extracts. The preparation for Fortified Organic Fertilizer takes 20 days. The formulation presented in this course produces 600kg of organic fertilizer but can be scaled down for small-scale farms. 

 

Note:  

This is just a reference implementation on how you can make a fortified organic fertilizer.  Based on this, you can formulate your own based on the materials available to you and based on the fertilization needs of your farms or garden.

3. Cover with plastic, jute bags, or canvas and allow to sit for 3 days. 
4. Add 200kg of decomposed animal manure and drench with 30L FAA solution. 
5. Cover with plastic, jute bags, or canvas and allow to sit for 3 days. 
6. Add 100kg of soil and drench with 30L FAA/FFJ/CALPHOS solution. 
7. Cover with plastic, jute bags, or canvas and allow to sit for 3 days.
8. For 5 days, drench the pile with 15L FAA/FFJ solution. 
9. Add 100kg of CRH and drench with 30L FAA solution.
