Compost Fertilizer Production from Sugar Press Mud (SPM)

Compost produced from biological wastes does not contain any chemicals unfavorable to living soil. This organic fertilizer is also one of them which contain phosphate, nitrogen solubilizing bacteria and decomposing fungi, which is co-friendly and protect the plants from various soil borne diseases. Results of trial based production of Compost at large scale is discussed. Different ratios of sugar press mud (SPM), Molasses and Rock Phosphate was mixed, piled and transformed in to Compost products in about 14-21 days. Single super phosphate (SSP) & Sulfur mud was also added and investigated to increase the Phosphoric components of Compost to produce a good quality of biofertilizer. In the end, granulation of this bio fertilizer was also investigated at different temperatures using Rotary dryers to produce grains for the ease of farmers.
