What is farm manure?

As a kind of fertilizer, farm manure is loved by many growers in our country. The rational use of farm manure is very beneficial to the growth, yield and quality of crops. It can satisfy all kinds of nutrients for crop growth, and will not cause too much pollution to the environment. But there are a lot of people who are more than farm manure. So what exactly is farm manure? The following editor will give you a brief introduction, let's have a look!

1. What is farm manure

There are many kinds of farm manure, which comes from a wide range of sources and has a large quantity. No matter where it is, it can be used locally. Compared with chemical fertilizer, its cost is relatively low. Farm manure contains more comprehensive nutrients, not only a large number of basic elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, but also various trace elements such as calcium, magnesium and sulfur. However, most of these nutrients exist in the form of organic matter, so it is difficult for crops to absorb and utilize them if they are applied directly.

Therefore, when we use farm manure, we need to release the nutrients through chemical and physical action and fermentation. After fermentation, the phenomenon of crop fertilizer damage can be reduced, and its fertilizer effect lasts for a long time and is relatively stable. And the proper application of farm manure can promote the formation of aggregate structure in the soil. Adjust the ratio of air to water in the soil to ensure that the soil is soft enough, improve the water retention and heat preservation capacity of the soil, and promote the growth of crops.

2. Traditional farm manure

Now with the development of agriculture and the increasing demand for green food. The demand for farm manure in the planting industry is also increasing. And whether from food safety or sustainable agricultural production, chemical fertilizer is basically impossible to completely replace farm manure. In many places, due to the single application of chemical fertilizer, the tillage layer of the soil becomes shallow, which is easy to drought and waterlogging. Moreover, it is easy to burn seedlings, leading to soil acidification, and there are few kinds of chemical fertilizers, which is also very disadvantageous to the quality and yield of crops. So if you want to ensure soil fertility, then organic fertilizer is indispensable, and the often said organic fertilizer, human and animal manure is the traditional farm manure.

3. Heap and cover farm manure

Heap cover farm manure is referred to as compost, which mainly refers to the organic fertilizer formed after the decomposition and transformation of the organic waste produced by plant animals, which is common in our daily life. After the compost is accumulated, it will gradually become black and stinky, and it will be soft and loose. In the heap cover, we should pay attention to maintain sufficient moisture, stir it evenly. Then it is tightly sealed to avoid air leakage. During composting, attention should be paid to the absence of tobacco residues and pollutants. The accumulation time should be kept at about two months, and then mixed with fine soil, it can be used as farm manure.
