Medium Carbon Chain Liquid Fertilizer Formulation
This formulation combines the properties of medium-chain carbon molecules, bamboo-derived materials, and beneficial microorganisms to create a soil-compatible, organic fertilizer. Here's a detailed breakdown:
Ingredients
- Bamboo Vinegar (Liquid Base):
- Source of medium-chain carbon molecules.
- Acts as a carrier for nutrients and a medium for microbial cultures.
Bamboo Ash (Nutrient Supplier):
- Rich in minerals like potassium, calcium, magnesium, and silica.
- Balances soil pH and enhances microbial activity.
Bamboo Biochar (Growth Medium):
- Serves as an agar-like substrate for beneficial bacteria, fungi, and algae.
- Enhances soil aeration, water retention, and nutrient availability.
Soil-Compatible Algae:
- Supplies essential nutrients like nitrogen and bioavailable organic matter.
- Examples: Chlorella or Spirulina.
Beneficial Fungi:
- Mycorrhizal fungi to improve root nutrient absorption.
- Trichoderma spp. for disease resistance.
Beneficial Bacteria:
- Nitrogen-fixing bacteria (e.g., Azotobacter, Rhizobium).
- Phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (e.g., Bacillus spp.).
- Potassium-mobilizing bacteria.
- Application Guidelines
For Soil Application:
- Dilute 1 part fertilizer with 10 parts water.
- Apply evenly around the root zone.
For Foliar Spray:
- Dilute 1 part fertilizer with 20 parts water.
- Spray directly onto leaves during early morning or late afternoon.
Frequency:
Apply every 2 weeks for best results.
Benefits
- Enhances soil structure and fertility.
- Promotes root and plant growth by supplying organic and inorganic nutrients.
- Stimulates beneficial soil microbial activity.
- Reduces the need for synthetic fertilizers.
- Environmentally friendly and cost-effective.
