    1. Prepare the sprouting tray. Fill up the tray with the planting soil. Wheatgrass is a grass which only requires about 15mm thick soil for its root growing. If you are using the tray in the growing kit, you probably left 1/3 of the planting soil. The remaining planting soil will become the soil for 2nd planting.
    2. Evenly spread the germinated seeds on the planting soil. It is pretty dense as observe. Leaves the seeds to stay on top of the planting soil.
    3. Spray some water after the seed evenly spread on the planting soil, moisture the soil for making it becomes suitable for seed sprouting.
    4. This is the most important step. Cover the sprouting tray with a plastic bag. You could cover with the courier service bag. Move the sprouting tray in indoor are to avoid direct sunlight. Perform daily watering, perhaps, this also a good opportunity to experience the wheatgrass growth.

    Papaya dieback disease

    Papaya is one of the common tropical fruits in Malaysia.  Recently, there are several potential outbreaks in papaya planting estatePapaya dieback disease is the most serious outbreak which planter should beware of. 

    In previous documents, we have shared with our reader about the papaya planting scheme.  In this article, we are going to describe something about this dieback disease.

    Dieback Disease is a commonly found disease in many papaya plants. Use proper organic compost and planting soil to ensure a healthy grow.

    Papaya Farm - Dieback Disease
    Papaya Farm – Dieback Disease

    What is Papaya Dieback Disease?

    Papaya dieback is a disease-causing by Erwinia psidii bacteria.   A Plant that affected by this bacteria will cause rot in branches, flower and fruit.  The disease always develops from the stem and slowly migrated to the leave.

    Since the plant vascular is rotten, this cause the nutrient transfer from the root to the tree is affected.  The insufficient nutrient supply will lead the plant toward low survivability and eventually plant death.

    How the Bacteria Transfer to Papaya tree

    There are many transmission methods for the Erwinia psidii or E psidii transfer to papaya tree.  Contamination soil or tools are the most suspicious root cause for the transfer of bacteria.  Beware of plant handling too!

    Chicken Manure
    Chicken Manure

    The E psidii is a pathogen disease which could come from a rotten plant.  This is the reason why CH Biotech is always emphasizing in fermented temperature.  A high fermented temperature, 60 degrees and above is the necessity for manufacture quality compost.  In CH Biotech, we ensure our compost is going through a high temperature fermented process.

    Another source of the pathogen bacteria could come from chicken manure.  In papaya planting, many planters have used chicken manure as the fertilizer source. Unfortunately, this may cause pathogen risk to the tree and farm.

    Healthy Papaya tree
    Healthy Papaya tree

    Actions to Overcome Dieback

    It is not easy to recover a papaya tree if it already infected with the Epsidii disease.  The planter shall completely remove the infected papaya tree to ensure terminate the disease. Planter shall also discard all the chop down the infected tree from the planting area.  Meanwhile, beware of tools contamination.

    We would like to congratulate you if you are having a healthy and prosperous papaya tree, it means you are applying an appropriate fertilizer to the soil, please maintain the effort. 

    If your plant is not that healthy, such as encounter papaya dieback disease, it is the time for you to review your papaya planting scheme together with the fertilizer applied.  Maybe you will find out some hint from here.  Talk to CH Biotech for your agriculture needs, and we are always here to work with you.

    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

    Organic Compost
    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
    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

    Malaysia Agriculture Industry

    Fruit 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
    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
    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
    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!

  • Organic fertilizer soil for Succulent Plant

    Organic fertilizer soil for Succulent Plant

    CH Biotech is a famous compost manufacturer in Malaysia.  Recently MM Garden, an organic garden decoration company, contacted us for developing dedicates organic fertilizer soil for succulent plants.  There are many organic fertilizer soils available in the market however most of the recipe was designed for agriculture plant.  MM Garden wants a fertilizer recipe which dedicated for a small plant, such as succulent plant which normally plants in the office.

    Succulent Plant
    Succulent Plant

    AF Organic Compost is a plant base organic compost which fulfils many planting needs.  After study the nutrition and planting needs, we concluded that AF Organic Compost should be used as the primary ingredient for this dedicates planting soil.

    The speciality about Succulent Organic Soil

    Succulent plant is a small and colourful plant which has very beautiful and fleshy leave.  Perhaps the leave is much thicker than the ordinary plant leave.  Aloe and the Cacti could consider as succulent plants.  However, in we are working with the gardener who plants much beautiful plant.

    Succulent plant is a drought-resistant plant which could grow pretty well with limit water and nutrient supply.  Succulent plant is very suitable planting in a relatively dry air condition room, with very minimum water supply or even without water supply for Saturday and Sunday, the plant still grow very well.

    Because of the plant nature, we have to formulate our soil so that it gives much room for the plant root to grow.  An ordinary soil could become too harden for succulent plant grows.  Our organic compost product pre-mix with cocopeat and fermented fibre is giving a much suitable condition for the succulent plant.

    Developing Organic Fertilizer Soil for Succulent Plant

    CH Biotech has many years of experience in developing organic fertilizer soil for the dedicate plant.  Even though we are new to succulent plants, but we have an appropriate working process in order to develop a new product.

    Thanks for the powerful Google search engine which allow us to perform the basic study about the Succulent plant.  After researching literature, we had gained the basic knowledge about this plant.  Through our knowledge, we outlined several key factors for judging the healthy growth for Succulent plat.

    Base on the plant characteristic, we had set up several organic soil recipes for planting succulent plant.  We had planted several succulent species with various soil recipes so that we could adopt better idea about our soil quality for the succulent plant.

    The experiments take us 6 months before we could draw a conclusion.

    Test the Organic Fertilizer Soil

    In the agriculture industry, we have to test our organic fertilizer soil before we are confidently said the recipe is finalized.  We could see difference growth quality for various organic fertilizer soil recipes.  Throughout our experiments, we are getting full support from MM Garden.  The gardener from MM Garden has been helping us to monitor the succulent plant grow.

    With the input and feedback from MM Garden, we are able to obtain reliable data for succulent plant grows.  The gardener from MM Garden is known that they could have quick judgment even after 1 month of planting.  This really helps us expedite the soil formulation.

    We had finalized and supplied the organic fertilizer soil for succulent plants to MM Garden.  Since this is a proprietary product, we encourage our interested reader could directly buy from MM Garden.  You are welcome to visit their online shop or visit MM Garden Facebook page.  We are very confident you will love their product as we did.

  • Know more about Cocopeat

    Know more about Cocopeat

    Cocopeat is a primary agriculture medium used in some agriculture farm.  Even though it is a very common planting medium unfortunately you may not be able to buy this agriculture substance in any gardening farm.  CH Biotech does have cocopeat in our factory and we are selling those cocopeat to a farmer who needs it.

    cocopeat
    Cocopeat

    Some readers had asked us about whether cocopeat could replace organic compostCocopeat and organic compost are two difference agriculture substances, both serve a different purpose.  We will explain some basic knowledge about Cocopeat.

    What is Cocopeat

     Cocopeat is a substance from coconut husk.  It is difference then coconut fibre or coir.  During the manufacturer remove the coir from a coconut, debris is generated during the process.  The debris is the cocopeat.  Cocopeat is not the same as coconut fibre, or coir.  Cocopeat is having a characteristic that it is good in water absorption and also loose enough to promote air penetrating within the material. 

    Even though cocopeat is an organic substance however it does not contains any nutrient.  In other words, cocopeat could not be the sole material in planting.  Many fertilizer formulations have included cocopeat as one of the composition. 

    Cocopeat & Compost
    Cocopeat & Compost

    Cocopeat Characteristic and Advantages

    Cocopeat is a planting medium for potting mix soil,hydroponic planting and soil conditional.  Cocopeat could become such a friendly plating medium because of below characteristic:

    1. An organic substance which shows good resistant to bacterial and fungal growth.
    2. Good water retention capability.  Could hold up to 6 times of water by weight.
    3. Promote porous structure to the soil.
    4. Mild acidic medium with pH 5.7 – 6.5.
    5. Slow biodegrade which could use for several planting schemes.
    6. High CN ratio, about 80:1

    How to Plant with Cocopeat

    The organic cocopeat is suitable for many crops.  For certain crops like chili or precious flower, while planter would like to have a controllable planting condition, they will select cocopeat as the medium.

    We are seeing some nursery is using cocopeat as the primary medium for small crop especially planting at the beginning stage.  Once the crop is growing up, the gardener will move the small crop for a bigger pot for planting purpose.

    The cocopeat could also be placed in a pot and a control amount of nutrient solution will be added accordingly.  The plant will have less variation under this condition.

    Our reader could get our prepack cocopeat from CHBiotech or our associate nursery nearby your district.  You are welcome to find out more about cocopeat from us.
