DAP (Di-Ammonium Phosphate) fertilizer is very popular all over the world and it is an effective and quick working fertilizer for plants. It contains similar amount of phosphorus and nitrogen which is especially used to boost the growth of crops. Using it increases the nutrients level of soil rapidly due to which the roots of plants or crops develop very well and also the production of flowers and fruits increases.
But long term use of chemical fertilizers like DAP has a very negative effect on the environment. Due to this the quality of the soil gradually decreases and only 30% of it is used by plants and crops and the rest gets deposited inside the soil as salt and spoils the quality of the soil.
Apart from this, it also slowly starts contaminating the natural sources of water due to which the danger to water pollution is increasing. That is why nowadays it has become very important to adopt organic and sustainable gardening and farming and to use such organic fertilizer which will benefit our plants and crops like DAP but will not have any negative impact on our soil and environment.
And today we will tell you such a
secret technique by which you will be able to easily make organic and powerful
fertilizer like DAP at your home and which will benefit our plants and crops
like DAP and will be completely organic and will also be cheaper than the DAP
available in the market.
So let's know this method and
we have made an example of making it keeping in mind the items per 10 KG. If
you want to make more or less than this then you can make it less or more
accordingly.
To make organic phosphorous and
nitrogen rich fertilizer like DAP by this method, first of all we have to
collect the ingredients mentioned below -
Step-1:
First of all, we will take 10 KG of any organic compost that
is easily available in your area such as vermi compost, leaf mold, kitchen
waste compost or cow dung compost. This organic compost is easily available
worldwide and is also very cheap.
For example, if you are reading
this information from USA (United States of America), then there you can easily
get approximately $5.00 to $6.00 for 10kg depending on different locations.
If you are reading this information
from UK (United Kingdom) then according to different locations it is easily
possible to get £3.00 to £5.00 pound 10kg.
If you are reading this information
from Australia then according to different locations it is easily possible to
get 10kg for approximately AUD $5.00 to AUD $7.00.
If you are reading this information
from India then according to different locations it is easily possible to get
10kg for approximately ₹100 to ₹150 rupees.
So first of all, as told above, you
have to take 10 kg of any organic compost and put it in a big container.
Step-2:
After this we have to take 10 KG of rock phosphate. Rock phosphate is easily available worldwide and is also very cheap.
For example, if you are reading
this information from USA (United states of America), then according to
different locations one can easily get 10kg for approximately $1.00 to $2.00
dollar.
If you are reading this information
from UK (United kingdom), then according to different locations one can easily
get 10kg for approximately £1.00 to £2.00 pound.
If you are reading this information
from Australia, then according to different locations, 10kg can easily be
bought for approximately AUD $1.00 to AUD $2.00.
If you are reading this information
from India, then according to different locations, 10kg can easily be bought
for approximately ₹100 to ₹120.
So after taking 10 KG vermi compost,
now we have to take 10 KG rock phosphate and put it on top of the vermi compost.
After this, in the third step we
have to mix vermic compost and rock phosphate properly and keep mixing it until
they are mixed properly. For this you can use your hands or you can also use a
scoop.
Step-4
After this, in the fourth step we
have to spray water on it with the help of a sprayer and moisten it lightly.
While spraying water on it, keep in mind that it should be only lightly moist
and not too wet.
Now after this we have to cover it
completely with the help of some cotton cloth and leave it in a shady place for
about 10 to 15 days. And every other day keep spraying light water on it with
the help of a sprayer.
When we follow these steps, then
after about 15 days this organic fertilizer will be completely ready and just
like DAP, good amount of nitrogen and phosphorus will be formed in it. So this
was the secret method through which we can make 20KG of a powerful
organic fertilizer which will improve the health of plants like DAP but it will
not have any adverse effect on the environment.
Now we will tell you how much
cheaper it is than DAP. Above we have told the worldwide estimate of 10 kg each
of organic compost and rock phosphate. And when we put them together, it comes
to a total of 20 KG organic fertilizer. The price of which is as follows
according to the examples of the countries mentioned above:
If we manufacture this organic
fertilizer in USA (United States of America), then its prize there will be
approximately $7 to $8 dollars, but if we look at the prize of 20 kg DAP there,
it is approximately $10 to $14 dollars.
If we manufacture this organic
fertilizer in UK (United kingdom) then its prize there will be approximately £4
to £6 pound but if we look at the prize for 20 kg DAP there, it is
approximately between £6 to £0 pound.
If we manufacture this organic
fertilizer in Australia then its prize there will be approximately $6 to $9 AUD
but if we look at the prize for 20 kg DAP there, it is approximately between
$10 to $16 AUD.
If we make this organic fertilizer
in India, its prize there will be approximately ₹200 to ₹270 Indian rupees, but
if we look at the prize of 20 kg DAP there, it will be approximately between
₹600 to ₹800 Indian rupees.
It is clear from these examples
that if we make this organic powerful fertilizer anywhere in the world, its
price will be less than the prize of DAP given there.
Conclusion –
By mixing the above mentioned
organic compost and rock phosphate and processing it naturally for 10 to 15
days, such an organic fertilizer can be made which helps in increasing the
growth of plants like traditional DAP fertilizer. This process is a natural and
sustainable approach which also helps in improving the health of the soil.
Organic compost adds organic matter to the soil which stimulates the growth of
microbes and enhances nutrient availability. Rock phosphate which is a natural
phosphorus source provides essential phosphorus to the plants which helps in
root development and flower/fruit formation. When both of these are combined
and processed in a natural environment, this fertilizer acts as slowly released
nutrients which provide long-term nourishment to the plants and that too
without any chemical contamination. This type of organic fertilizer boosts the
growth of plants and also makes the environment sustainable and besides this,
it is also much cheaper than the chemical DAP fertilizer.
