ORGANIC
FERTILIZER - CITY COMPOST is a bioorganic soil enricher that helps
to improve soil productivity. It is a rich source of plant nutrients
( both macro and micro ) growth promoting substances and the bacteria
present in ORGANIC FERTILIZER - CITY COMPOST help in fixing atmospheric
nitrogen and in making phosphorus available to the plants, ultimately
leading to increased productivity of better quality.
Biological composition of ORGANIC FERTILIZER
- CITY COMPOST (per gram):
* Micro organisms capable of fixing free nitrogen
and making it available in a suitable form to higher plants.
**Microorganisms capable of producing organic acids to form complexes
with Fe, Al, Ca,
and Mg. by their enzymatic action and release ‘p’ in
soluble form to higher plants.

Dosage:
Cash Crops: 0.5 to 2.0 tonnes per acre.
perennial plants : 5 to 10 kg per plant.
Ornamental plants: 500 to 1000 grams per plant.
Nurseries and Lawns : 2 to 3 Kg per Square metre.
For Forests Plants like teak, pines, etc. Organic fertilizer - City
Compost may be applied at 5 - 10 Kg. per plant, before rains.
( The dosages vary based on the fertility status of the soils).
The composition of the Organic fertilizer -
City Compost can be altered to suit the nutritional requirments
of different crops and supplied.
ORGANIC FERTILIZER - CITY COMPOST is best applied
to light textured soils poor in organic matter and microbe content
to reap rich dividends.
Admix ORGANIC FERTILIZER - CITY COMPOST with adequate quantity
of soil and apply before last ploughing.
Storage:
Keep ORGANIC FERTILIZER - CITY COMPOST in cool, dry place in shade
and maintain moisture content of ORGANIC FERTILIZER - CITY COMPOST
at 20 to 25%. Spray clean water if the moisture content drops below
15%.
Shelf Life - 1 Year.
Note :
The biological and chemical compositions of enriched organic fertiliser
may marginally vary by about ten per cent depending on the nutrient
composition of municipal and agricultural wastes used and method
of storage adopted.

Phosphorous conversion into available from will depend
on the amount of fixed phosphorous in soils.
Organic fertilizer - City Compost and FYM will also
contribute through growth promoting substances.
Direct Manurial value of Organic fertilizer - City Compost
is about 400% better than normal cow-dung.
Organic fertilizer - City Compost is almost a complete
