»How to make a fish hydrolysatefermented organic fertiliser«
The fish organic fertilizer can be made from all types of fish as it improves on crop quality and yields thus providing vital soil nutrients, regenerates soil with microbes and minerals.
Additionally, fertilizer preparation takes 1 hour, fermentation takes 4-6 weeks this allows multiplication of microbes. For proper fertilizer efficiency, apply 5 times per season for example during land preparation, seed preparation, first seeding, during flowering and during fruiting stage
Equipments and Ingredients
Equipments include, 20 litre bucket, knife, chopping board, stick, net and string. On the other hand the required ingredients to make 5 litre fertilizer include, 1kg fish waste, 1 litre sugarcane molasses, water 3 litres.
