7 1 FERTILIZER – 7.21 - PRODUCE YOUR MICROBIAL BOKASHI

The microbial fertilizers mostly consist of organic material and some source of sugar or starch, which are fermented together with specific species of microorganisms. The products are living organisms and need to be applied cautiously. They should not be used when expired, since the organisms may be dead.

Although some research has been done on the use of microorganisms and positive effects may be proven, there is still little experience with such products. To find out the effect of a certain product, it is recommended to test them in small scale and compare with an untreated plot. Remember though:

microbial fertilizers cannot substitute an appropriate humus management in the farm. 

Most of the bacteria and fungi present in the purchased products are generally present in soil. Microbial inoculate, therefore, enhance the presence of the specific organisms. Some farmers make their own microbial fertilizers to save on costs.

SOMO LA 7.21 MBOLEA – ZALISHA MBOLEA YAKO YA MICROBIAL

Mbolea za vijidudu mara nyingi hujumuisha nyenzo za kikaboni na chanzo cha sukari au wanga, ambazo huchachushwa pamoja na spishi maalum za vijidudu. Bidhaa hizo ni viumbe hai na zinahitaji kutumiwa kwa tahadhari. Haipaswi kutumiwa wakati muda wake umekwisha, kwani viumbe vinaweza kuwa vimekufa.

Ingawa utafiti fulani umefanywa juu ya utumiaji wa vijidudu na athari chanya zinaweza kuthibitishwa, bado kuna uzoefu mdogo na bidhaa kama hizo. Ili kujua athari za bidhaa fulani, inashauriwa kuzijaribu kwa kiwango kidogo na kulinganisha na njama isiyotibiwa. Kumbuka ingawa:

mbolea za vijidudu haziwezi kuchukua nafasi ya usimamizi ufaao wa mboji shambani.

Wengi wa bakteria na kuvu waliopo kwenye bidhaa zilizonunuliwa kwa ujumla huwa kwenye udongo. Chanjo ya microbial, kwa hiyo, huongeza uwepo wa viumbe maalum. Baadhi ya wakulima hujitengenezea mbolea ya vijidudu ili kuokoa gharama.
