Chemical residues in agricultural products can affect human health. Therefore, composted manure is now being used more and more commonly instead of chemical fertilizers. So What is decomposed manure? Detailed instructions on how to make decomposed manure? Let’s join German microbiological products Binh find out now.

1. What is decomposed manure?

Decomposed manure is the type of manure excreted by livestock and poultry. This mixture includes manure, urine along with fillers and is composted using biological products or by traditional methods.

Manure is considered a form of organic fertilizer. Manure contains many nutrients that are good for plants such as phosphorus, potassium, nitrogen, etc. These are all suitable nutrients in the process of animals absorbing food. 

Composted manure has outstanding advantages compared to chemical fertilizers. In addition to providing necessary nutrients to help plants grow and develop, this type of fertilizer also contributes to making the soil much more fertile and loose.

Types ofcomposted manure are very diverse and depend on the type of livestock such as buffalo manure, cow manure, chicken manure, pig manure, earthworm manure, bat manure…

2. Advantages and disadvantages of composted manure

Composted manure has the following advantages and disadvantages:

Advantages

  • Highly safe, using composted manure can produce clean, quality and absolutely safe agricultural products, without chemicals that affect the health of users such as chemical fertilizers.
  • Manure includes micro, secondary and macronutrient mineral nutrients. Includes nutritional elements such as calcium, magnesium, manganese, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, copper, sodium, silicon, molybdenum…
  • Large amounts of humus contained inrotted manure help create soil porosity, increase fertility, improve properties and stabilize soil structure.
  • Balancing soil pH helps prevent soil degradation and discoloration.
  • Limits the amount of water evaporation, prevents drought, erosion and creates conditions for the tree’s root system to grow quickly, as well as increasing the tree’s resistance.

Disadvantages

In addition to the outstanding advantages, composted manure also has certain disadvantages such as:

  • Manure has a long-term impact and depends on livestock production. If not processed carefully, manure can cause other diseases to plants.
  • During the fermentation process, manure also creates an amount of acid. If you do not know how to combine it with it, it can cause soil acidity.
  • This type of compost has low nutrient content so it must be applied many times and in large quantities. During periods of rapid plant growth, chemical fertilizers must be added in combination.
  • Improper processing of decomposed manure will be counterproductive, causing pathogens to plants such as viruses, bacteria, fungal spores, cholera bacteria, helminth eggs, insect cocoon pupae…

3. Common types of composted manure

Currently, the types ofcomposted manure are very diverse and depend on the species of livestock. However, people often choose cow manure, goat manure and chicken manure to compost because they are very popular. Each different type of manure will have different uses and properties.

Composted cow manure

Using cow manure as composted manure is extremely familiar to farmers. Cow manure has a very high organic content, so it has many effects on plants and soil.

Composted goat manure

In recent years, goat manure has been used a lot by people to make decomposed manure. Composted goat manure is often used to fertilize fruit trees, bonsai trees or flowering plants…

The uses of this type of fertilizer are:

  • Provides adequate nutrients necessary for plants to grow well.
  • No odor, small pellets, does not cause heat to plants and does not attract insects, beneficial for arable land.
  • Having moderate moisture and not over-wetting the soil, when using goat manure, there is no need to add much water.
  • Adds nutrients to the soil, making it fertile, airy and loose.
  • It has an average pH, so it does not affect the pH of the soil. 
  • Provides oxygen for plant roots to breathe, helping plants grow healthily.

Uses of composted chicken manure:

  • Provides large amounts of organic matter, helping to supplement beneficial microorganisms for farmland.
  • Helps retain moisture, reduce acidity, reduce salinity and improve soil.
  • Helps increase soil fertility and porosity.
  • Helps plants increase resistance, helping prevent some diseases that harm plants.
  • Increases pollination ability and fruit set rate, helping agricultural products increase flavor.

New steps to compost manure

  • Step 1: Mix the manure mixture well with the filler. Separately mix the biological product Trichoderma Duc Binh, deodorant emzeo and 2 – 3kg of rice bran.
  • Step 2: Spread a layer of manure on the ground with a thickness of 7cm to 10cm. Next sprinkle a mixture of Trichoderma, Emzeo and rice bran on top. Continue to spread a layer of manure and a layer of probiotic mixture until the end.
  • Step 3: Use clean water and water the manure until it reaches 50 – 55% compost moisture. You can gently hold the manure with your hand to check. If there is water seeping through the gaps between your fingers, the compost moisture level is satisfactory.
  • Step 4: Stir the compost pile evenly, then pile it into a pile with a diameter of 3 – 4m, a height of 1.5 – 1.7m and use a tarpaulin to compost it.

Incubation time is from 25 to 35 days. During the incubation process, it is necessary to turn the fertilizer 2 to 3 times to distribute evenly. During the first 2 – 3 days, the temperature of the compost pile can reach 55 – 60°C. At the end of the composting time, if the compost is completely decomposed, there is no foul smell and the temperature is normal, it is considered successful.

5. Notes when composting manure

  • Choose a location to compost composted manure: The location for composting needs to be convenient, well-drained, away from water sources and wells to avoid polluting clean water sources.
  • Use tarpaulin carefully: Use tarpaulin to prevent compost from being washed away, avoiding causing environmental problems.
  • Air conditioning: Oxygen is an extremely important ingredient in the composting process. Bacteria and fungi need oxygen to break down organic matter, and not having enough air will make the stool smell worse. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the necessary amount of air is always maintained.
  • Keep moist: Decomposed cow dung needs to be moist. In the summer or dry climate, you need to water the compost with a sprinkler with a sufficient amount of water, not too much.
  • Heat monitoring: Beneficial bacteria can cause the temperature of the compost pile to increase, between 55 – 60°C. This temperature helps kill pathogens and parasites. The more the temperature increases, the more bacteria are working. If the temperature drops low, it is necessary to mix the fertilizer well.
