FORTIFICATION & ENRICHMENT OF FYM

Farm yard manure should be high potential input while applying to soil.
It should be rotten and in free form. But the available fym is weak,
moulted form and there may be undigested seeds also in the dung
which sprout and convert into weed in the farm. It is necessary to fortify
fym and then enrich it. So it is necessary to make it strong, dry and
powder form by using SILRICH cultures. Fortification/enriching of fym at
farmer’s farm is must instead of purchasing it from the open market.
Apply fortified/enriched farm yard manure to all plants in ring method.
Apply such fortified/enriched farm yard manure 20 kg – 30 kg per plant.
Apply recommended dose of fym once in a year in rainy season.
How to prepare fortified/enriched farm yard manure by using SILRICH
cultures?? This model is to understand the process of making. A tractor
trailer volume size is 100 ft³ or 2.85 mtr³. One cubic feet holds 25 kg of
dried fym. As such one tractor trailer holds 2.50 tons or 2,500 kgs of
fym.

Fortification of FYM/Biomass by using Silrich – A.

 Collect the fym/biomass which is to be made into a cubical bed for treatment
with Silrich cultures.
 Make a cubical with dimensions of 30’x10’x6’ by using any low cost material
such as used flooring tiles or roofing materials or any old wooden planks etc.
 A typical cubical with the dimensions of 30 feet length, 10 feet width and 3
feet height (900 ft³) can hold about 22.50 Tons or 9 tractor trailers of
fym/chaffed biomass.
 First make a layer of farm yard manure/biomass with 6 inches thickness in
the above mentioned cubical. The six inches layer holds approximately 4 tons
of dried farm yard manure in the above sized cubical.
 Mix 4 kgs of Silrich-A, 4 kgs of jaggery in 800 litres of water and mix them all
thoroughly and sprinkle such liquid made out of Silrich-A uniformly, on the 6
inches layer of fym/biomass.
 Repeat the process of making layers of 6 inches with fym/biomass and
sprinkling prepared Silrich-A liquid on the biomass bed until the height of 3
feet.
 Cover the biomass heap in the cubical with gunny bags and drench the water
 Observe the top of heap once in 5-6 days and if it is dry, drench water on
gunny bags so that the heap maintains moisture of about 20 %.
 The fym/biomass gets digested in about 30 days

Enriching digested FYM/Biomass by using Silrich – B

 Make another cubical with the same dimensions besides the first cubical.
 Collect the top 6 inches of digested biomass treated with Silrich A, and make
a bottom layer with it in the next cubical.
 Mix 4 kgs of Silrich-B, 4 kgs of jaggery in 800 litres of water and mix them all
thoroughly and sprinkle such liquid made out of Silrich-B uniformly on the 6
inches layer of digested fym/biomass.
 Repeat the process of collecting digested fym/biomass and making a layer of
6 inches and sprinkling prepared Silrich-B liquid on the biomass bed until the
height of 3 feet.
 Cover the biomass heap in the cubical with gunny bags and drench the water.
 Observe the top of heap once in 5-6 days and if it is dry, drench water on
gunny bags so that the heap maintains moisture of about 20 %.
 The digested fym/biomass gets converted into valuable, rich Bio Fertiliser in
about 30 days

Benefits from “Silrich A & B” treated fym/biomass

1) Silrich™ treated Bio Fertiliser has organic N, P, K and trace elements in an

exchangeable form.
2) Silrich has bio fertilisers like Nitrogen fixing bacteria, solubilising bacteria for
Phosphorus and mobilization bacteria for Potassium , Zinc, Sulphur and Bio
Stimulants.
3) Silrich™ treated biomass gets converted to useful bio fertiliser rich in organic
nutrients.
4) About 100 Kg of Silrich treated Bio Fertiliser fixes about 20 Kg of atmospheric
Nitrogen per acre of soil.
5) 500 Kg of Silrich™ treated Bio Fertiliser is recommended for 1 acre of field
crops.
6) The dose can be increased to 2,000 Kg per acre as a soil amelioration
product.
7) 20 Kg of Silrich™ treated Bio Fertiliser is recommended for a tree in orchards.
Apply it in ring method.
8) The dose can be increased to 30 Kg per tree as a soil amelioration product.

DISCLAIMER: Many bio tech companies are producing such decomposing bacterial
cultures. You can purchase any such bio cultures. I used personally the above
recommended SILRICH cultures and found good. Farmers are at their liberty to
purchase any such good decomposing cultures. This is not any trade prompting
recommendation. Kindly note it.
