Pre-planting treatment; this is done 2 weeks before planting
and prepares the land to receive crops. All you need to do is plow the land,
remove debris and apply two liters of biofertilizer per square meter, and gently
incorporate it into the soil. pre-planting treatment improves the soil structure, water infiltration, and microorganisms’ activity. It is important that you calculate the amount of land you have so as to ascertain the amount of bio fertilizer needed.
Other application methods
Planting treatment; this kind of fertilization takes place
at planting and is a source of nutrients for the seed or the seedling. The
fertilizer is applied on different plants in different ways but the fertilizer
has to be diluted to avoid scorching the plants. Dilute in a ratio of 1:2
before applying to the crops.
For short-term cycled plants that take at most 3 months to complete
their cycle like cabbage, apply three liters of diluted biofertilizer per hole
and plant the seedling, for midterm plants like maize that take between 3 to 6
months to complete their cycle, apply 6 liters of diluted biofertilizer per hole while for perennial crops, mix 10 liters of diluted biofertilizer with topsoil, put the mixture back in the hole and plant the seedling in the middle.
Top dressing; this takes place 2 weeks after transplanting
or 6 weeks after germination. Apply your biofertilizer around the base of every
crop once every week. For short-term plants, apply 6 weeks after planting or 2
weeks after transplanting 1.5 liters per crop, for mid-term cycle plants apply
three liters while for perennial crops, apply 5 liters of diluted fertilizer
every week until flowering either 6 weeks after planting or immediately after
fruit harvesting.
Tips for better production
Ensure you plow your land so that you can expose the pests
and weeds to the sun and these will eventually die.
The choice of fertilizers should not only be on nutrients
but should be helpful in organic structure, organic matter, and soil structure.
Fertilization is a continuous process since crops require
nutrients throughout the growth cycle.
