The people of Pakistan take great care of agriculture, like many of us around the world, as some have herbs and plants in their homes or gardens and need to preserve them without buying external fertilizers, so you go to use natural fertilizers that help and keep you away from chemical fertilizers and the fear of them.
The creation of organic compost at home is low cost compared to manufactured fertilizers, and this is one of the most important reasons that make the people of Pakistan making it home, as it consists of permanently available household materials and provides all the needs and food necessary to grow healthy houseplants, and it is advisable to add fertilizer to plants every two weeks but how?
To make a good organic natural fertilizer, you must know the basic nutrients that plants need to grow, which are nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, and to a lesser extent, calcium, magnesium, and sulfur, which are the most important elements that plants need.
Any green materials (rich in nitrogen) such as vegetables and food scraps are brought without meat, and materials (rich in carbon) such as leaves, plain paper and straws. These materials are collected and prepared in a plastic container and then placed in an iron container and placed on the soil in a shaded place and placed in The bottom is a solid layer of tree leaves and branches in order to ventilate the center of the container and drain the water from it, and it is divided into layers, the first layer of brown materials, followed by the layer of green materials. The specific time for fermentation depends on several factors, the size of the container, the weather, the materials that have been placed, and the number of times the bowl is turned over. Therefore, it is advised to turn the container frequently to allow it to ferment faster.
How is potato fertilized?
Potato is one of the most important crops in Pakistan and is of great importance in the economy of Pakistan
Potato is the most wanted plant for many of them, as it is rich in many nutrients, including carbohydrates and most minerals, and the quality of potatoes in tubers is affected by the genetic factor of the variety, environmental conditions, and agricultural operations, and the type and quantity of fertilizers has a great impact as the type of fertilizer used has a great role and the presence of fertilizer used.
And potatoes are considered a crop that needs a lot of organic fertilizer, so it is about 1500-2000 kg per dunum before planting the tubers, but it must be old so as not to attract biting insects, and if there is no other type of fertilizer, which is green manure, is taken, which means planting a plant such as lupine or beans on It must be from the cornea species that take from the air and store it in the nodes that are located on the roots and after these plants bloom, they are buried in the ground, giving the soil an amount of nitrogen with the rest of the nutrients present in its branches and roots, but this method is no less important than the municipal garbage in the soil Also, with these methods, chemical fertilizer is used, in which 15-20 kg of ammonia sulfate, 10-15 kg of sulfate and potash chloride, and 15-20 kg of simple superphosphate are applied. The method of use is by burying fertilizers in the ground before planting and covering it with soil. Then the seeds are placed over the landfill so that the roots of the plant are above the compost
