    humic acid will definitely bring disadvantages in plant or crop growing.

    In most of the crop planting, we heard about various fertilizer regardless organic fertilizer or NPK fertilizer but not humic acid. Before we go into the detail about the mechanism of plant growing for humic acid, let us understand some basic knowledge about humic acid.

    What is the purpose for Humic Acid?

    Humic acid will contribute the plant grow in 3 major aspects:

    1)    Nutrient Transfer. The soil will get hardening after applying chemical fertilizer or NPK

    fertilizer for a period of time. One of the deficiency of harden soil is poor in nutrient transfer from the root to the tree. A soil with rich humic acid will ionize the mineral base fertilizer and get it transfer to the tree.

    2)    Soil Amendment. Soil will become acidic because of chemical fertilizer build up. The acidic soil will bring adverse effect in planting harvest. Adding the CP-05 organic compost will converting the soil quality toward mild alkaline stage.

    3)    Living Source of Microbial. Besides those chemical indicators, microbial living in a healthy soil also an important index we should not omitted. Microbial is favourable living in a compost which rich in humic acid.

    Where we could Acquire Humic Acid?

    Humic acid is coming together with a product, and organic compost is the best carrier for humic acid. A quality organic compost product shall consist with substantial amount of humic acid. The organic compost CP-05 from CH Biotech consist rich in humic acid.

    In CP-05 organic compost ingredient, we ensure the humic acid meet around 20% criteria. With this content of humic acid, we are seeing a significant growing of plant from various aspects, such as 1) nursery stage or 2) newly plant stage. You can read more about the Result of Using CP-05 Organic Compost.

    How should we apply Humic Acid?

    Since organic compost rich in humic acid, we could ensure the soil is able to obtain sufficient humic acid as long as we follow the application of organic compost.

    Here is the basic guideline for applying organic compost which comes with humic acid:

    1. Newly plant Crop. Individual new planting hole need to add in 5-8kg of CP-05 organic compost.
    2. Grow Crop. Every year, apply 5 kg or organic compost around every grow crop.

    Please kindly consider your soil quality if you are facing harvest deficiency and one of the possibilities is lacking of humic acid in the soil. Adding in CP-05 organic compost from CH Biotech is definitely one of the solutions for overall improvement.

  • Result Planting with CP05 Organic Compost

    We have been talking about CP05 organic compost from several posts, and we receive inquiry from readers who are interested to find out the planting result after applying with CP-05 organic compost.

    CH Biotech has carried out many field tests along with customer’s assistance. Perhaps CP-05 Organic Compost has been used and applied in many crops which all show significant result in harvest.

    Crops Planting with CP-05

    The application for CP-05 organic compost is wide and the potential is huge. Here we list out several crops commonly seen in Malaysia which have shown significant result after applying CP-05 organic compost.

    1. Banana. Banana is a fruit with high demanding on nutrition, especially potassium. The CP-05 organic compost and Bio-05 organic fertilizer products have been widely used in banana crops together with NPK fertilizer. It shows good result with proper application plan.
    2. Oil Palm. Oil palm is a crop which consumes high nutrient and water. Due to draught season in Malaysia, many oil palm estates are facing low yield. This is due to the soil is poor in water retaining ability. With CP-05 organic compost, water is easier to retain in the soil. On the other hand, the humic acid also promoting better microbial living condition which help in nutrient transfer from the soil to plant body.
    3. Organic Vegetable. Chicken manure is a natural organic fertilizer but with high pathogen. In modern organic farming, organic compost is replacing manure for more healthy vegetable fruit.

    Result Shown After Applying CP05 Organic Compost

    1. More feeders root. A new plant at the nursery stage shows more feeders root than the control specimen after 2 -3 months time. From our study on oil palm tree at nursery, we are seeing 15% more feeder root. This will definitely help to improve the nutrient intake and better grow while transferring to the land.
    2. Larger and more in leaf. The tree in the plant with CP05 organic compost show more leaf and larger leaf as compare to the control sample.
    3. Minimize to no chemical fertilizer during early plant stage.   During the transfer planting, the planter need very cautious in putting chemical fertilizer to avoid nutrient shock. At this period of time, planter is always advice to put CP-05 organic compost.

    There are many more advantageous after applying CP-05 organic compost. You are advice to test out CH Biotech organic compost to experience the planting result.

  • Bio-05, A Quality Organic Fertilizer Product

    CH Biotech is a Malaysia company focus in manufacturing and supplying organic compost & organic fertilizer to agriculture industry. Our Bio-05 series of organic fertilizer is the enhance version of our organic compost product.

    Organic fertilizer is not another name for animal manure, such as chicken manure. Organic fertilizer is a general term to explain the ingredient of a fertilizer are organic in nature as well as fulfilling several criteria such as carbon nitrogen ratio (C/N ratio), Organic Matter and trace element.

    What Special of Bio-05 Organic Fertilizer

    Bio-05 series of organic fertilizer is produce via control composting process, meanwhile microbial ingredient is added in order to elevate the plant growing effect. In an ordinary plant growing process, planter needs to add sufficient NPK fertilizer to ensure sufficient of nutrient supply. Besides adding the NPK fertilizer, we also need to ensure the plant is able to absorb the fertilizer before it leaches out. In this case, microbial play an importance role for plant nutrient absorption.

    There are many beneficiary substances consist in Bio-05 organic fertilizer, one of the composition is Humic Acid. Soil scientist has published a comprehensive study to show humic acid is increasing plant growth.

    Manufacture Control of Bio-05 Organic Fertilizer

    The Bio-05 organic fertilizer is produced with stringent process control. Many organic substances are added through-out the composting process to ensure the meeting organic fertilizer criteria. Perhaps, our manufacture process is through eco-friendly composting process, through-out the process, we ensure the pathogen is eliminated.

    Who Needs Bio-05 Organic Compost

    Bio-05 organic fertilizer definitely is your first choice if you want to claim for organic farming. Bio-05 organic fertilizer suits for all plantations. However there are a few conditions that Bio-05 is mandatory:

    1)      Newly plant tree. Planter can just put 5-8kg of Bio-05 during the newly planting area. The nutrition in Bio-05 is able to sufficiently supply the nutrient for the tree for coming 3 months time.

    2)      A soil which lack of organic matter. A soil which always added NPK fertilizer will experience decay in fruitful yield, this is because the soil is lack with organic matter and the NPK fertilizer become insoluble for the tree to absorb. Once the tree area is place with organic fertilizer, the humic acid will act as a catalyst for nutrient transfer purpose.

    Bio-05 is one of our standard organic fertilizer products. With our composting knowledge and facility, we are able to work with individual plantation or fertilizer agency for setting up an unique organic fertilizer for specific plant.

  • Why Plant Needs Bunch Ash

    Bunch ash is a kind of boiler ash products which content high ratio of Potassium (K2O), or Potash in more general terms.

    Source of Bunch Ash

    Bunch ash is the ash residue from the burning of palm oil’s empty fruit bunch. The boiler consistently burn bunch product with minimum mixture of other composition, such as palm kernel shell. The ash accumulated at the boiler outlet will be gather and pack for agriculture purpose.

    Characteristic of Bunch Ash

    The bunch ash is having the below standard characteristic:

    1. Form. A flyable ash base with light-grey in colour.
    2. Alkaline base. If the ash is dilute in the water, it will shows an alkaline base with the pH between 10-12.
    3. Moisture: <10%
    4. Potassium content: 30%

    Some Application of Bunch Ash

    There are commonly 2 way for applying bunch ash for the crop,

    1. Pure bunch ash.  Bunch ash can directly spread on the soil around the root area. The high Potassium concentration of bunch ash will quickly dissolve and improve the soil quality.
    2. Bunch ash premix with organic compost.  This premix of organic fertilizer or compost is more ease in application process. The alkaline base of organic compost will act the key factor for soil amendment whereby the Potassium will improve the crop’s yield.

    Bunch ash very suitable for many crops as the Potassium is one of the key element for promoting fruit growth.

    The bunch ash is an organic fertilizer originated from the ash residual after burning the oil palm empty fruit bunch. It is rich in Potassium contain.

    Kindly send CH Biotech an inquiry about bunch ash and relevant organic farming products.

  • Export CP-05 Organic Compost to overseas?

    We know CP-05 organic compost is a quality organic compost product suitable for many crops and

    Organic Compost
    Organic Compost

    soil. Many traders have approached us and telling us their intention for exporting this CP-05 organic compost to overseas market.

    We are very happy that our quality CP-05 organic compost has gotten recognition by many people in the market, meanwhile we also very please for their offer by helping us promote organic compost to overseas market.

    Organic Compost Export to Overseas?

    Follow many countries’ regulation, compost is a ban product for importing. We all know compost or organic compost is a very useful commodity for soil conditioner and crops growth. One of the reasons is that compost consist many type of microbial.

    The purpose for microbial is stimulating the plant to intake more nutrients and also breakdown the NPK nutrient which needs for plant grow. Unfortunately not every country also having a restriction in microbial control, this is basically to control the decease to invade into the country. Under such circumstances, soil is restricted for importing to one country.

    CP-05 Organic Compost is means more for Malaysia Market

    In CH Biotech, we are very certain about the regulation set at individual country. Our quality CP-05 organic compost products are targeted for Malaysia agriculture market.

    We want Malaysia gardening user to rest assure that our CP-05 series of organic compost is a quality composting product which very suitable for agriculture sector. Perhaps CP-05 series of organic compost has been widely used in many agriculture crops such as oil palm estate, banana estate, fruit estate, paddy fied.

    In future, if you are looking for organic compost product, you will never find any imported organic compost product at Malaysia. After our explanation, you should understand the reason behind that organic compost is not meant for export.

  • Replace NPK Fertilizer with Organic Compost

    Organic Compost productDuring our technical support section with the planter, we always come across this question whether should we replace the existing NPK fertilizer with organic compost, such as CP-05 organic compost manufacture by CH Biotech.

    First of all, we would like to take this opportunity to make a general statement on our CP-05 quality compost. We are confident and proud on the result shown after CP-05 organic compost applied to the soil.

    In order to answer the planter doubt, we always need to look from various aspects so that we do not bias on the result.

    Crops that Plant on the Field

    Crops that planted need various nutrient. Individual crop has their own nutrition preferences.

    Take oil palm tree as an example. A mature oil palm tree requires high input of NPK fertilizer, from study it shows the oil palm harvest is very much correlate with the input of NPK fertilizer. The NPK fertilizer is to ensure sufficient nutrient could prosperous the growth of oil palm tree. In this case, the low NPK content of organic compost is unable to achieve the effect of NPK fertilizer.

    For other crops, such as vegetable, organic compost already sufficient for growth. Organic matter plays an importance role through-out the growth of vegetable. CH Biotech’s organic compost consists of rich amount of organic matter which very suitable for vegetable.

    On the other hand, Chili may require both organic compost and NPK fertilizer. Organic compost should be able to support the nutrient that require for a Chili tree, however in order to have better harvest result, planter will add some level of NPK fertilizer to achieve better yield.

    Soil Condition

    Soil management is always one of the key factors for planting. Study the soil content and properties so that we know how to apply organic compost and maintain a reasonable ratio with NPK fertilizer.

    Sandy soil. A sandy soil is definitely not preferable for plant grow. Applying organic compost on the sandy is going to see better effect than NPK fertilizer.

    Peat soil. Peat soil is acidic base which contain the pH between 3-5. Even peat soil contents high organic matter somehow it is not suitable for plant. In order to improve the soil quality, there are several option we could select:

    1. Adding high pH mineral. Such as applying lime on the soil to neutralize the acidic base of peat soil.
    2. Adding bunch ash. The organic base bunch ash is definitely one of the suitable substances to add in the peat soil.
    3. Adding organic compost.   The mild alkaline base of organic compost is also one of the options; however this may not be an economic way.

    Soil Management.

    In practical situation, there are many factors that affecting our crop and harvest result. In order to achieve better result, in CH Biotech, we always believe a proper soil management program is definitely far importance than individual fertilizer.

    In general, organic compost is the important substance for improving overall soil quality and NPK fertilizer should be more specific for individual growing period. Both commodities should work collaborate in order to achieve better planting yield.

  • Apply Organic Compost Result – Root System Growth

    One of the advantageous for adding organic compost is stimulating the root system growth. In this article, we would like to share with you about some result show after applying CP-05 organic compost on an oil palm feed.
