Microbial decomposers, including bacteria and fungi, are essential organisms in nature that break down dead or decaying organic matter, facilitating the natural process of decomposition. By doing so, they recycle nutrients, clean the environment, and promote healthier ecosystems. Their role is particularly important in agriculture, where they help decompose crop residue, reduce pests and pathogens, and improve soil fertility.
Features:
Bacterial Breakdown: Bacteria are capable of decomposing a wide variety of organic materials, including complex compounds.
Fungal Hyphae: Fungi use specialized hyphal structures to penetrate and break down hard-to-decompose organic matter.
Nutrient Recycling: Decomposers recycle vital nutrients, returning them to the soil for reuse by plants.
Crop Residue Decomposition: Effective in breaking down crop leftovers, reducing the need for tillage.
Environmentally Friendly: Help in cleaning the environment by decomposing organic waste and reducing pollution.
Pathogen Control: Fungi and bacteria help reduce insect and pathogen populations in decaying organic matter.
Benefits:
Nutrient Cycling: Ensures the continuous availability of essential nutrients for plant growth.
Improved Soil Health: Enhances soil structure and fertility by adding organic matter and nutrients.
Crop Residue Management: Reduces the accumulation of crop debris, promoting field cleanliness.
Pest and Disease Management: Controls harmful insects and pathogens by breaking down host materials.
Environmental Sustainability: Reduces waste, lowers pollution, and supports ecosystem balance.
Faster Decomposition: Speeds up the breakdown of organic materials, reducing the need for mechanical or chemical interventions.
Dosage:
Prepare a heap of cow dung, farm waste, crop residue, etc. Dilute premium decomposer in sufficient water (10ml/lit. of water). The amount of DECOMPOSER to be used is 0.1 to 0.2% of the total weight of the substrates. (1 - 2 liter of DECOMPOSER per 1000 kg substrate) Spray the diluted DECOMPOSER on the heap and mix thoroughly. After 8 –10 days, turn the heap and spray the diluted DECOMPOSER on the heap again. Depending on the plant substrate used, a well-decomposed manure will be ready within 45 – 60 days.
Crops: can be used in decomposing crop stable / waste /straw/green biomass and dung in the open field in the case of Banana, Sugarcane, Grapes, Pomegranate, Paddy, Wheat, etc
