How to Prevent Plant Root Burn

Family planting always come across root burn phenomenon. The leaf of a beautiful plant suddenly shows scorch or “dry” symptom. Perhaps, the leaf tip may also turn yellowish is one of the significant appearance on root burn effect..

Root burn is one of the most common symptom found in family gardening especially those who just started the planting.

Think of Root Burn Effect if the tree suddenly turn yellowish at leaf tip.

Root Burn Comparison

Symptom of Plant Root Burn

Root burn is a symptom showing the plant is encountering excessive mineral salt given to the plant. While mineral salt comes in higher concentration, the water supply to the tree becomes inadequate. This lead to dehydration to the plant.

The overfeed of excess fertilizer to the plant is the main reason causing root burn. This symptom becomes obvious while chemical fertilizer is used.

Once the root burn symptom appears, chances for recovery is very slim, but it is always no harm to flush the plant with plenty of water.

Worry Free Organic Compost or Pellet

Compare with chemical fertilizer, the organic compost or pellet gives better margin for root burn effect. Organic compost is rich in organic substances but not the mineral salt. Unless excess compost is applying to a plant, it always a better choices for home gardening.

organic pellet

Organic pellet could be even better than compost. This is because the slow-release ability. Even applying a palm size of organic pellet to a small croup, it still safe from root burn.

Away from Root Burn

It is very bad while a crop turn out to root burn especially the crop shows wilting. In this case, over apply fertilizer to the plant is the main culprit.

Select Organic Pellet as the main nutrient source especially for home gardening.

Select the fertilizer with slow release ability. The nutrient will be slowly and evenly distribute to the soil without drastic change on the soil properties. Liquid fertilizer with dripping mechanism could also serve the similar purpose.

Root burn effect is a common topic in planting. Understand your crop and apply adequate fertilizer will be the main activity. For home planting, we recommend convert to organic compost or organic pellet product. These will further ease the planting process.

Organic Farming not Nature Farming
Raising Snail

Many are talking about the organic farming concept in the agriculture industry. This concept and method not only promotes better plants and crops grow but also bring better health for humanity. Organic agriculture refers to the crop grows with organic substance and no pesticide or chemical-based fertilizer is used.

Organic compost is the main contribution to soil nutrient which needs for plant growth. The overdose of pesticide and hormone applied to the plant has exposed human-being health in a vulnerable situation. Perhaps, organic food is getting wider market in Malaysia.

Organic farming is an agriculture concept which sustained the soil, ecosystem and people.

Organic Farming

Difference between Organic and Nature Farming

People always get confuse between organic and nature farming.

Nature Farming

Nature farming refers to a farming method with no interruption on the soil and planting behaviour. The chemical fertilizer and pesticide are not allowed in natural farming, this applies to organic compost too!

One of the common practice for nature planting is transferred earthworm to the soil. The earthworm will loosen the soil naturally and the vermicompost will become the natural organic fertilizer to the soil. Unfortunately, this method is less effective in growing a prosper plant.

Through our interview and visit, some tea tree planters adopt nature farming planting concept. They are trimming and harvesting the tea tree twice a year to ensure the tea tree is good enough to hold the soil. Weeds removal is minimum too!

Organic Farming

Fruit from Organic Farming

This farming method implies an agriculture process which not apply any artificial fertilizer and pesticide. The concept is getting popular and wanted for growing food plant for people.

Organic farming requires more than compost and no pesticide. Sustainable agriculture planting requires planting experience as well as agriculture technology. Sustainable organic agriculture includes the below activities:
1. Soil management.
2. Crop diversify.
3. Weeds management.
4. Livestock control.
The Benefit of Organic Fruit and Vegetable

Composting Process

Organic agriculture requires overall planting management to ensure sustainability in agriculture. Perhaps, a well grows organic fruits and vegetables always gives better taste and nutrient in return to the consumer.

Meanwhile, the eliminate of using pesticide has brought long-term advantages to the environment and nature. The sustainable concept is widely accepted by a younger and western country.

Some disadvantages of organic agriculture

Even though we know organic farming is bringing advantages to people and the environment, unfortunately, not all plant is suitable for this method. There are some disadvantages.
1. Cost. The organic food always requires a higher cost for growing a plant.
2. Plant illness.
3. Productivity and harvest amount.
Through our observation, CH Biotech is experiencing growth in this sector. While we are moving toward modernization, we need sustainable agriculture which brings better health to people. We believe organic farming agriculture will become popular.

Malaysia Agriculture Industry
Papaya and Pineapple

The agriculture industry used to be the main GDP contributor to the country. The Malaysia terrace is very suitable for agriculture activity. She locates at the equatorial zone even make Malaysia is having advantages in growing crop. In the year 1970, around 50% of Malaysia population contribute to the agriculture industry. But the agriculture population has decreased to ~10% in the year 2010.

Many rural populations have moved to urban for the past 20 years. With the urbanization grows, the lack of agriculture workforce become severe. Many populations have shifted to other industry and cause the workforce reduction in the agriculture industry.

Malaysia should promotes agriculture industry to ensure sustainable food supply.

Where Are We in the Agriculture Industry

Malaysia GDP Trend 2009 til 2019

In the year 2019, the agriculture industry is contributing 7.3% for Malaysia GDP, this was the historic low for the last 10 years. On the other hand, apart from the agriculture industry, the manufacturing industry also experiencing shrinking in past 10 years.

Major Crops for Malaysia Agriculture Industry

Malaysia is well known for several major crop worldwide, these include:
1. Oil Palm
2. Rubber
3. Coconut
4. Paddy
Paddy Field

Even though the government is promoting agriculture throughout the country, but we do not see an increase trend in workforce and investment. Most of the workforce is shifting toward industrial and service sector causing the reduction in workforce in agriculture.

Rubber and oil palm used to be the main crop in Malaysia and worldwide. Unfortunately, the situation change. Indonesia is overtaking Malaysia as the main oil palm crop worldwide.

Challenge in Agriculture Industry

The agriculture industry in Malaysia is facing great challenge from several aspects:
1. Short of Labour workforce.
2. Land limitation.
3. Lack of Food Technology & Production.
Agriculture is no more a low-end industry sector. The Malaysia agriculture industry requires a major breakthrough by technology. The improvement in agriculture technology will offset the shrinkage in the workforce.

Sustainable In Agriculture

Malaysia Agriculture Industry

The strategic is moving toward sustainable agriculture industry by crop diversification. To avoid heavily rely on oil palm contribution, the country is diversifying to other crops category. The increase of durian and pineapple planting proof of the diversification. A large area planting MD2 Pineapple is a sign to show Malaysia wants to have diversified in crop potential.

Apart from durian and pineapple, we are seeing major growth in the fruit industry sector. This increase in fruit harvesting has promoted Food Technology and Processability in Malaysia.

Malaysia requires a lot of participation from various sectors in order to grow sustainable agriculture for the country. Perhaps, agriculture no more a layman industry, it requires a lot of technology upgrade too!

CH Biotech is manufacturing quality organic compost for the agriculture industry. We closely work with many plantation owners for providing them with a quality organic compost which suitable for their plant.

Let us contribute our part to develop the Malaysia agriculture industry, we are seeing a great opportunity too!

Plant MD2 Pineapple
Malaysia Pineapple Industry Board (MPIB) has set a target to increase MD2 pineapple planting. In the year 2020, the MD2 pineapple output reach 700,000MT, this is double up the output from the year 2012. Currently, Johor is having the largest area for growing MD2, another state as Perak, we also see planter converting the land to MD2 pineapple planting.

CH Biotech is working with several MD2 planter around the region on supplying suitable organic fertilizer for this fruit.

Why Plant MD2 Pineapple

Pineapple is a tropical fruit with high Vitamin C and other nutrient, MD2 is the species with double Vitamin C content. From export perspective, MD2 species is the highly wanted pineapple in worldwide market. Philippine and Thailand are the 2 countries export MD2 to American, Europe country.

Entrepreneur understands the huge shortage for MD2 pineapple due to high demand in world-wide market. Here are a few advantages for MD2 for export market:
1. Bigger in size and thinner for the skin. A MD2 species could grow big than most of the pineapple. An A-Grade MD2 pineapple weight more than 1.7kg per unit.
2. Long ripen day after harvest. The MD2 pineapple takes 30days to ripe after harvest, other species takes 21days to ripe. The long ripping day gives advantages for export the pineapple to other country.
3. Rich in Vitamin C and nutrient. As mention earlier, MD2 has double Vitamin C content as compare to other pineapple.
4. Short planting cycle. It takes 150days to plant a MD2 pineapple.
Taste of MD2 Pineapple

By applying sufficient organic compost for the plant, the MD2 pineapple could grow healthier than many other species. Furthermore, the fruit taste delicious as the soil is condition with comprehensive trace elements.

So far, we know MD2 pineapple is a sweet pineapple love by many customers. All the MD2 fruit has been targeted for export market, very less fruit sell in Malaysia domestic market. Furthermore, the MD2 always comes in large size as well as symmetric pattern which easy for packing arrangement.

MPIB has worked with planter to grow more MD2 species for next few years for export commitment needs. Currently, shortage of MD2 seedling is the main challenge.

Planting MD2 Pineapple

Planter could check with MPIB for getting the MD2 seedling or buying from the market. Since this is highly wanted species, it is very hard for getting sufficient seedling.

Meanwhile, there is very limited planting technology for MD2, this include:
1. Planted Area per farm
2. Planted Density
3. Fertilizer apply
4. Fruit size distribution
5. Grading and Yield
In order to overcome the above uncertainty, planter always needs to work with agronomist, MPIB and fertilizer manufacturer to ensure we could form a reliable workforce to overcome the challenge. As an Organic Compost Manufacturer in the region, CH Biotech has worked with MD2 pineapple planter closely to ensure we could supply the organic fertilizer effectively.

In case you are having plan to plant MD2 pineapple, CH Biotech is always here to serve you.
