Decomposition and Enrichment of Agricultural Waste Using Compost Tumbler Technology’
Project Sanctioned ,National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development
Conventional farm yard compost contains 1.4% Nitrogen, 1.8% Phosphorous and 0.7% Potassium. By adding certain organic elements this compost can be enriched in nutrient composition.
Compost tumbler enable the farmers to mix the content uniformly, with minimum manpower, and requires very short period of time.
Preparation of Rapid Vermi compostAs earthworms can’t tolerate heat generated
during primary decomposition of waste, heaping process is necessary before inoculating in earth worm bed. In normal conditions heaping required 30-45 days. But by using tumbler technology within 8-10 days this process can be achieved.
Hence cycle time of preparation of vermi compost reduced to 45 days from 90 days
prepare a role model for production of in house bio fertilizers, and P- enriched compost from agricultural wastes. By which people living there got a sustainable and profitable revenue generation scheme.
Benefits to Target Population By using self prepared compost, vermin compost, bio fertilizer;
farmers can achieve a great yield without hampering soil profile. Hence for sustainable agriculture this model is very important.
Farmers can produced quality organic fertilizers from the farm waste which can be sellable in market giving a continuous revenue generation scheme.
There will be no requirement of outside fertilizers; technology is complementary with organic farming.
Farm waste will be taken for process instead of burning. So creating good environmental conditions within village. Also open dumping of waste will be restricted, prohibiting bad odour, and other nuisances.
Together all, waste management within village level can be ideal for clean and green environment.
As the problem of getting quality organic manure becoming a serious issue, proposed tumbler technology provides an ideal solution. Farmers can develop their own bio fertilizer, compost and vermin compost within a short period of time and using very cheap microbial techniques.
Proposed model can be replicated at every village, farm, food processing units, major cities, hotels, and every place where waste is generated!
Due to its unique features, this model can be replicated very rapidly in various sectors of society.
