Bioprotein isan important source of easily digestible nutrients that help take care of plants for the best resultst. The following article will guide people how to make your own biological nitrogen to fertilize plants at home very simply.
Protein is the basic organic substance for the life of all plant and animal cells. This is a nutrient that plays an extremely important role in plant growth. However, the nitrogen content in soil is very small. One of the measures that many people are interested in today is using biological nitrogen to increase the amount of nitrogen in the soil. So, what is bio-protein? How to make your own bio-nitrogen to fertilize plants at home Is it difficult? Let’s find out in the following article!
1. What is biological protein?
Unlike protein, natural nitrogen reserves are extremely large, accounting for about 78.16% of air volume. This huge amount of Nitrogen is capable of providing nutrients for trees for up to tens of millions of years. Through the activities of microorganisms, Nitrogen is converted into NH3 to provide nitrogen for plants.
In other words, biological protein is the product of the process of reducing N2 (Nitrogen) to NH3 under the catalysis of the Nitrogenase enzyme secreted from microorganisms. Then, NH3 combines with organic acids to form amino acids and proteins. This process is also known as nitrogen fixation.

2. Advantages of biological nitrogen compared to chemical nitrogen fertilizer in farming
As we know, fertilization is an indispensable task in farming. This is a way for farmers to supplement missing substances in the soil to help plants absorb and grow better. However, the application of chemical fertilizers has so far caused many serious consequences for the living environment.
Therefore, making your own bio-nitrogen to fertilize plants at home was born as a long-term and highly effective alternative method. Compared to using chemical nitrogen fertilizers, using biological nitrogen has many outstanding advantages:
Don’t worry about protein excess or protein poisoning
When plants are deficient in nitrogen, signs will appear such as: stunted growth, yellowing of the entire plant stem and leaves, poor resistance to pests, etc. To supplement the amount of nitrogen in the soil, growers often add chemical fertilizers such as ammonium nitrogen fertilizer, nitrate nitrogen fertilizer and urea, etc. However, adding too much nitrogen fertilizer will also cause symptoms. Nitrogen poisoning for plants. If not treated promptly, the plant can be damaged and even die.
Using biological nitrogen by selecting nitrogen-fixing microbial strains is a completely natural way to supplement nitrogen for plants. These microorganisms are like natural nitrogen fertilizer factories, depending on the nutritional needs during the plant’s growth process. Therefore, when using biological nitrogen, farmers absolutely do not have to worry about nitrogen deficiency or excess like when using chemical fertilizers.
Helps save costs for growers
When using chemical nitrogen fertilization, growers must do it regularly throughout the plant’s growth process. This not only takes effort but also increases the burden of buying fertilizer.
On the contrary, to provide biological nitrogen, growers only need to add microorganisms once before planting and only need to re-fertilize 2-3 times/year.
Therefore, using biological nitrogen is not only an effective way to supplement protein but also helps make farming easier. On the other hand, making your own bio-nitrogen to fertilize plants at home from available natural ingredients also greatly reduces the cost of buying chemical fertilizers.
The product does not contain toxic chemicals that affect consumers’ health
According to an investigation by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the results show that plants only use about 40-50% of the fertilizer, the remaining amount of fertilizer is washed away or remains on parts of the plant. The need for fertilizer in our country is about 10 million tons, of which nitrogen fertilizer accounts for 20%. To improve productivity, many people also increase the amount of nitrogen fertilizer by 2-3 times, leading to excess nitrate on vegetables and fruits.
Comparison between organic fertilizers and chemical fertilizers
During the digestion of fruits, vegetables or leaves in humans, this amount of nitrate is converted into nitrite. When nitrite meets amines in the human body, it becomes nitrosamine – a substance that causes stomach cancer and is especially dangerous. In addition, nitrate accumulation also causes the body to face the risk of low blood pressure, affecting reproductive health and increasing the risk of miscarriage.
Therefore, to limit the dangerous effects mentioned above, farmers need to minimize the use of chemical fertilizers and instead use microorganisms to provide nitrogen for plants. This is the most effective method to help agricultural products eliminate toxic substances that affect consumers’ health.
Helps improve the condition of farmland
The abuse of chemical nitrogen fertilizers not only harms human health but also causes pollution of the arable land environment. Excess nitrate from chemical fertilization is kept in the soil, through chemical reactions it produces ions (H+) causing the soil to become acidic.
In addition, the accumulation of heavy metals in the soil also causes the soil to gradually dry out, lose its cohesion and cause serious soil degradation. On the contrary, during their activity, microorganisms not only provide natural protein for plants but also help retain moisture, create humus and make the soil more porous

On the market today there are also many lines of finished fish fertilizer products that have been pre-composted and are bottled or bagged in the form of liquid or tablets. However, the price of these types of products is often not cheap. Therefore, to save costs, people can apply the following method at home:
● Step 1: Prepare ingredients, including:
- 30kg pureed fish (can use fish head or fish intestines instead of whole fish)
- 2kg molasses or rock sugar
- 1 package of 200g of Trichoderma Bacillus preparation (purchase address here )
- 1 pack of 200g EMZEO deodorant (purchase address here )
- 60 liters of water, a 200 liter drum and a shovel for mixing.
● Step 2: Compost
Put all the ingredients prepared as above into the drum and stir well. EMZEO only puts in ½ package. After mixing the mixture well, sprinkle the remaining ½ packet on the surface and then close the lid of the bin to compost
● Step 3: Filter fish feces
After an incubation period of 30-40 days, we will filter the fish feces and put it in cans for preservation. If the sour smell of protein fermentation or the smell of fish sauce appears, it is considered successful.
People should extract fish feces into small cans large enough for multiple uses to avoid having to open the can frequently. This will help prolong shelf life. Store fish feces in a cool, dry place and the shelf life without opening is 1 year.

How to make your own biological protein from earthworms
To make biological protein (amino acid protein solution) from earthworms at home, a popular and effective method is to use the process of hydrolysis (autolysis) with the addition of microbial products or enzymes to decompose the protein in worm meat into soluble amino acids. The most effective type of biological yeast used to hydrolyze earthworms today is Emzeo product. For detailed instructions, please follow the article:
4. Necessary notes when composting biological nitrogen at home
To create a finished product that meets biological standards, farmers need to prepare all the required ingredients and conduct incubation according to the correct process and technical standards. Specifically:
- The lid of the compost bin must be tightly closed throughout the incubation period to avoid attracting harmful flies and retain the activity of beneficial microorganisms.
- During the composting process, remember to check the compost bin regularly. If we find the compost is too dry, we need to add more water. The most suitable humidity for the above compost mixture is 40 to 60%.
- Occasionally you should open the compost bin so that the air inside can escape and stir the compost evenly to provide the necessary amount of oxygen for the microorganisms to grow.
- Remember to check the temperature of the compost bin by inserting a tree branch into the middle of the compost bin. Wait a few days and if you pull out the branch and see that it is quite hot, it means it has been incubated properly and the incubation process is going well.
5. Save on how to use and preserve homemade bio protein
According to recommendations from experts, biological protein, especially fish protein, needs to be diluted before use. Farmers should only water fish protein at cool times, avoid fertilizing when the sun is harvesting, especially do not water fertilizer directly on leaves when the outdoor temperature is high because it can cause leaf burn.
Even though bioprotein is rich in nutrients, safe for plants, and environmentally friendly, we should not abuse it because of that. You should use the product according to the recommended dosage, absolutely do not use too much because it will lead to the following phenomenon: Plants are over-nourished, so there is a risk of disease or attracting plant pests. If you want to increase the effectiveness when using fish protein, people should mix it with biological products such as: IMO preparation or Trichoderma, the effectiveness of fighting fungal diseases will be doubled.
6. Why must biological products be used in the composting process?
After learning how to make your own bio-nitrogen to fertilize plants at home from natural ingredients like above, surely many people wonder why they have to combine additional preparations like Trichoderma Bacillus or composted EMZEO. Will the biological protein creation process be successful without these types of products?
The answer is Yes! However, using a combination of biological products in the composting process will bring many benefits, including the following:
Shorten composting time
Biological products always contain a certain amount of probiotics to help shorten the time it takes to decompose fish muscle cells. Therefore, these products help reduce the composting time to only half compared to waiting for enzymes to naturally decompose
Does not cause unpleasant odors
A problem that farmers often encounter when applying organic fertilizers to plants is the stink caused by the decomposition of plant and animal matter. This is also a big barrier, making farmers reluctant to use natural materials as fertilizer for plants.
Therefore, the use of EMZEO preparations Composting manure is an extremely convenient and effective way to eliminate odors. In addition, this is also an effective solution to help prevent the appearance of insects that harm plants due to the odor that attracts them.
Ensures nutrition over time
In the past, one of the traditional methods to make biofertilizer was to mix natural ingredients such as fish meat with water. Although this method is simple, the nutrients will be gradually lost over time because some substances will be changed to create rotten protein.
On the contrary, actively adding microorganisms directly for the purpose of hydrolyzing fish meat will shorten the composting time, the substances in this fish meat only become biological protein that is beneficial for plant growth.
