Mushroom compost are rich in nutrients and beneficial to plant growth. In addition to horticultural and soil remediation applications, their use as a raw material for organic fertilizer is important resource use. The use of mushroom residues can improve crop yields. Not only is the nutrient-rich residue essential for plant growth, but its unique physicochemical properties are also very favorable for microbial growth.
Lifeasible provides research services on mushroom use as organic fertilizer in agriculture. We are investigating the effects of mushroom residues on crop nutrient content by analyzing organic fertilizer production and the amino acid content of crops. This is to improve crop quality while improving the soil. We support the efficient use of waste resources and food security in production.
What We Offer?
Our research team has developed a proven technology for processing fungal residues into organic fertilizer. Lifeasible develops the potential of mushroom applications as fertilizer and is committed to providing specialist solutions for mushroom applications. Some of the services we offer include but are not limited to the following:
Fermentation of Mushroom Compost for Fertilizer Production
We typically use fermenters to ferment mushroom residue for fertilizer applications in the following ways:.
Select different types of fermenters and materials according to the characteristics of the crop and determine the dosage.
Mix well. Mix the appropriate material well.
Select the correct carbon-nitrogen ratio. Usually, the C/N ratio of the fermented material is kept at 30-40 and the pH is adjusted to 6-8.
Moisture selection. We use a moisture content of 60-65% for fermented materials. The moisture content is usually determined by taking a handful of material and seeing the watermark, but not dripping, and then dropping it on the ground and spreading it out.
Choice of temperature. We generally control the production temperature to be above 15℃ and the fermentation temperature to be below 70℃.
Assessing the Effect of Mushroom Compost Application on the Amino Acid Content of the Crop
The amino acids in mushroom compost are relatively complete and we can test for changes in the amino acid content of the crop after the residues have been applied to the crop, we test for the following:
- Glutamic acid content
- Arginine content
- Lysine content
- Aspartic acid content
- Glycine content
- Alanine content
- Tyrosine content
- The relative total amino acid content
Our Advantages
- Our organic fertilizer can effectively condition the soil, activate the activity rate of microorganisms in the soil, overcome soil compaction, and increase soil air permeability.
- Our organic fertilizers reduce soil water loss and evaporation, alleviate drought stress, conserve fertilizer, reduce chemical fertilizer use, and mitigate salinity damage to the soil.
- Our organic fertilizers can improve soil fertility and increase food crops, cash crops, vegetables, and fruit yield.
