ORGANO PLUS

What is Organo Plus? Organo Plus is an Organic fertilizer & soil conditioner Manufactured from poultry manure. Contains: 40% - 60% stable organic matter 5% - 6% Nitrogen 4% - 5% Phosphate 4% - 5% Potassium Mg, Ca, Fe, Mn, B, Zn and Mo Emphasis is on quality, stability and nature of organic material.

Why Poultry Manure? Poultry Manure is the most nutrient-dense manure available Poultry Manure (%) Cattle Manure (%) Nitrogen (N) 6 0.25 Phosphate (P) 4 0.15 Potassium (K) 3

Stages of Manufacturing Composting Blending Pelletization Heat Treatment Packing

Composting Composting is a biological process undertaken by nature itself.

Successful Composting Process depends upon: Carbon:Nitrogen ratio b/w 15 & 25 Moisture Content of 40% ~ 60% 30% Free Air Space for Aerobic Activity pH between 5 ~ 12

Composting process continues for a minimum of 6 months

Advantages of Composting Food & Health safety issues are addressed – prolonged high temperatures reduces pathogen numbers. Better control of weed seeds and pests - high temperatures reduce weed seeds. Composting degrade most genetically modified and pharmaceutical materials. Stabilizes Organic Waste and converts nutrients to Plant available form.

Inactivation Temperatures of Pathogens Common pathogens present in life stock manure Pathogen Inactivation Inactivation Temperature Time (0C) Campylobacter – causes …………… 50 Hours Gastroenteritis Salmonella – causes typhoid ……… 50 1 to 2 days fever & gastroenteritis – can be fatal. E.Coli – present in guts of mammals …. 50 1 to 2 days causes intestinal and extra-intestinal diseases – can be fatal

After composting period of 6 ~ 8 months the compost becomes dark, crumbly odorless Organic Fertilizer.

BLENDING Nitrogen Phosphorous Potassium Ca, Mg, Sulfur, Zn, Fe, etc

NUTRITIONAL REQUIREMENT FOR TURF GRASS Grass grows best on a ratio of 3 parts nitrogen 1 part phosphorous 2 parts potassium. NPK 9-3-6 Requires Sulphur & Magnesium for Dark Green Color and pest resistance. We blend & customize the Fertilizer for Turf, Vegetables, Fruit Trees etc.

After blending the fertilizer is converted to pellets

Why Pelletizing? Increases Bulk Density which: Reduces transportation cost. Ease of application and proper dosage. Generates less dust during application. Slow release of nutrients avoids wastage. Pelletized compost contains 15% moisture and a solid content of 85%, whereas ordinary compost contains 50% moisture & 50% solid content.

HEAT TREATMENT

Why Heat Treatment? Reduces disease-causing pathogens Reduces moisture content Makes it safe for household use

PACKING Available in 50 Kg woven bags. Can be stored for a period of 1 year and more. Also available in fine form for application for Greens area of Golf Course.
