Choose our potting mix or potting compost, you could immediately start planting with almost no hassle. Many readers come after us checking about how to mix our AF Organic Compost with top soil before they could start planting in their garden.
Potting Mix
CH Biotech as the key organic fertilizer supplier in Malaysia, we have come out the fatigued product line to support the market. Even though our organic compost is a suitable product for most planting however organic compost does not suitable for direct apply . Our development team has formulated a potting compost formulation so that the user could directly plant. grows has solved many obstacles and promoting agriculture activity for the household user.
Ingredient of Potting
Compost
Potting Mix Ingredient
The ingredient for Potting Compost consists of 3 major substances:
Organic Compost.
Topsoil
Fermented Fibre
Since our organic compost is plant based compost, it consistsseveral substance which helps to promote air flow in the soil. After the mixture with topsoil, the potting compost still maintain a good structure which favour for plant grow.
CH Biotech maintains the potting mix ingredient as simple as possible as this is the basic formulation suitable for all crop. Again, just for a reminder, potting compost mainly use in the pot planting.
How to use Potting Compost
The potting compost already consisted of basic nutrient and trace elements for a small plant. The user may not require adding additional the at the beginning stage. Planter only requires adding water at the beginning stage.
Once our user gets our potting mix or potting compost, they could pour the potting compost in the pot and it is ready for planting. Shift the small plant into the pot and with daily watering, the plant should grow well within several days.
Organic Compost
Why Potting Compost but
not Organic Compost
While user wants to start planting in a pot, they need a potting compost to fill out the pot. The pot compost consists of basic ingredient and fertilizer to grow the plant. However, after some time of planting, the plant grows seems slower, this is the sign of soil is getting fatigue. This is the moment while the user could start adding organic compost or even fortified compost for promoting better plant growth.
Everybody aware heat is generated during the composting process, but how to measure the composting temperature in the compost pile? Perhaps composting temperature in the compost pile is the upmost important parameter for the composting process. As an organic compost manufacturer, CH Biotech has a comprehensive monitoring process to determine the composting process.
You can
also think composting process is promoting an aeration process for microbial,
during the microbial grow, heat is generated.
How to Measure Compost Temperature
Thermometer
Thermometer with long probe is a necessity for measure a temperature in a compost pile. Organic substance is always pile up so that the microbial in the organic substance to decompose the organic matter. During the decomposing process, heat is generated and the organic substance is being consumed.
Insert the thermometer probe into the compost pile, and wait the temperature becomes saturate. Only record the compost temperature once temperature reading is stabilize.
In order to contain a better picture about the temperature within a compost pile, we always measure several points within a pile and also with different depth. We always recommended adopting the compost temperature about 250-350mm underneath of a compost pile.
Factor Affects Composting
Since microbial or micro-organism is growing during the composting process, there are several factors are affecting the microbial grow. The more heat is generated imply that the microbial in the compost pile is growing rapidly, hence imply the temperature is getting higher. Once the organic substance depleted, the temperature in the compost pile will start dropping.
There are
many factors affected the composting process,
Microbial
species
Oxygen
level
Organic
substance
Moisture
level
Depth
of the pile
Once the factors change, this may affect the growing rate of microbial and eventually imply the change in composting temperature. There are tons of article showing us how to carry out composting effectively, such as we are required to make turning on the compost pile within a period of time.
In CH Biotech, besides the control mechanism on composting pile, we also control the microbial species. I know most of the reader may not have the luxury on controlling this parameter, but as an organic compost manufacturer, we are able to do more in order to maintain our compost quality.
What is the Suitable Composting Temperature
In general, a composting pile always record within 40-50degree C temperature range after pile up for 3 days of the composting process. However, due to our organic substance and process needs, our composting process always maintain at the temperature of at least 60degree or above. We will start rotating the compost pile after the temperature exit certain limit.
We have to
maintain higher composting temperature because our microbial is growing rapidly
and also the high temperature will kill
the pesticide in the organic material.
However in ordinary homemade organic compost, we do not recommend our
reader maintain a high composting
temperature as this may a potential risk on catch fire if without scrutiny
monitoring.
There are several organic substance being used in our organic compost ingredient, all substance has carried out respective composting process. You are always welcome talking to us about compost process or understand our organic compost product.
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
Some readers had asked us about whether cocopeat could replace organic compost. Cocopeat 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 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:
An organic substance which shows good resistant to bacterial and fungal growth.
Good water retention capability. Could hold up to 6 times of water by weight.
Promote porous structure to the soil.
Mild acidic medium with pH 5.7 – 6.5.
Slow biodegrade which could use for several planting schemes.
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.
Organic Compost has been overlooked by many farmers especially NPK fertilizer is overwhelming entire agriculture industry. There are several important features of organic compost or advantageous which could not be replaced by NPK fertilizer.
AF Organic Compost Features
Throughout our visit to various farmers or planters, we could easily feel their frustration that they are experiencing a reduction in harvesting yield if they are applying the same amount of fertilizer as the previous year. Moreover, agriculture quality is also reducing across time. This phenomenon is even significant for those planting local fruits farmers.
How to Improve the Fruit Taste?
We are seeing many farmers have converted their agriculture activity in planting local Asia fruits. Just take durian as an example, durian price has increased several folds as compared to several years ago. The consumer has more demanding while come to purchase a fruit, they are not only looking for appearance but also the unique taste of the fruits.
As we know, NPK fertilizer is the basic elements for growing a tree and nursing a fruit, but there are many other nutrient needs in order to grow and harvest a tasty fruit. In general, the nutrient which we mention here is the trace element of a fertilizer. In healthy soil, the soil should have comprehensive trace elements include Magnesium, Borem and much more. Those trace elements are the nature of a healthy soil and almost impossible to artificially added in.
The Role and Source of Trace Elements
The trace elements are an essential nutrient need for growing a healthy tree and tasty fruit. Whereby the NPK fertilizer is the enhance booster to grow a bigger and larger fruit. Trace elements are the nature of a healthy soil and it becomes lesser while the soil is getting fatigued, this is because the trace elements have been absorbed by the plant through an ionizing exchange.
In standard NPK fertilizer, it does not content of trace elements. The farmer always applies NPK fertilizer in a fatigue soil but due to lack of soil’s trace elements, the ionic exchange between the soil and tree are poorer and ineffective. In order to rejuvenate the soil, we have to add organic substance so that the fatigue soil could recover to it norm stage. Organic compost is the mandatory for soil amendment purpose.
There is much variety of organic compost in the market, and we highly rate plant base organic compost should be the best among all. Our AF-Compost is a plant base organic compost which we composting from EFB fibre.
3D structure promote water retention and air intake
Consists Trichoderma and other microbes which resemble the nature soil
Improve organic chelate effect
Now you should have a better idea about the features of organic compost and also how the role of organic compost in promoting your plant and fruit. You are always welcome to give us a call or contact CH Biotech for understanding about having better harvesting result. More important, tasty fruit!
AF-Compost is manufacturing under dedicate organic compost process with adequate process control and monitoring for ensure the product quality. We are going to explain to our reader how we manufacture this quality organic compost product.
In CH Biotech, we have established a standardize composting process so that we could produce reliable and consistent quality product.
Raw Material of Organic Compost
Ganoderma Decease
AF-Compost Organic Compost is plant base compost consists of mixture of EFB sludge and composted fibre. Apart from there, we also cultivate Tricoderma microbe in the compost so that the organic compost is having the ability against Gardoderma decease.
Composting Process
As a remarkable organic compost manufacturer, CH Biotech has overcome many process challenges so that we could produce the quality AF-Compost product in an effective way.
Below is the standard process flow for manufacture quality organic compost product. We have to start with raw material preparation before the composting process.
Fibre Compost
Step 1. Prepare the Raw Material
– Drying the EFB Sludge.
– Composting the fibre.
Step 2. Mixture the Dried-EFB Sludge & Composted Fibre.
Step 3. Composting with routine turning
Step 4. Sieve for unwanted substance removal
Step 5. Packaging
Quality Control for Respective Composting Process
In order to manufacture quality organic compost, we have set several controls for individual process. Many manufacturers always focus in compost quality but they neglected setting up appropriate process control. As an experience organic compost manufacturer in Malaysia, we always focus in the process control parameters for individual process.
There are some process controls we would like to highlight here:
Compost temperature. Heat is generated during the composting process, we have to control the temperature range within 60-70C to ensure the microbe still able to stay alive.
EFB Sludge dryness. The EFB sludge wet form while it removes from the sentimental pool, we have carried out a drying process to reduce the sludge dryness before it could mix with fibre for composting.
Composting turning frequency. The compost has to pile up for composting process, meanwhile we also has to perform turning like every 3 days. This is to ensure the compost uniformity.
Product sieving. Our organic compost will perform a final sieve for removing unwanted substance, such as stone or cluster form of compost.
Many people can learn about the organic compost process flow from many guru, however making a quality organic compost could be another challenge. CH Biotech has established a consistent process flow as well as control plan to ensure our organic compost could achieve and maintain a good quality.
Talk to us and understand our organic compost process flow so that you know why AF-Compost is one of the best organic compost to be used in agriculture industry.
We come across a farmer who wants to start planting papaya fruit in his farmer. He seeks our advice about understanding the papaya planting scheme. He wants to know if organic compost is suitable for growing a healthy fruit.
CH Biotech not only commit in organic compost manufacturing but also working with farmer for providing the planting solution to farmer. We want our farmer gain the planting knowledge for getting healthy fruit tree and harvesting delicious fruit.
Starting Stage for Planting Papaya
Without knowing too much of about existing soil properties, we always recommend farmer start with organic compost. For getting the best planting result, farmer could start with digging a 2ft diameter hole. Fill up the hole with our AF-Compost.
AF-Compost consists of sufficient nutrient for growing up a small plant. The farmer not requires adding other nutrient for the tree besides water. The small papaya tree will grow up pretty fast with AF-Compost.
Growing Stage for Papaya Tree
Once the tree growth about 2ft tall, we are very sure the tree already properly grown up. Now the tree requires more nutrients for plant growing, this is the stage where AF-Green757 fortified compost comes into the role.
AF-Green757 consist the nutrient for plant growing. Since the papaya plant is relatively small, we recommend only apply 100g of AF-Green757 per tree. In order for getting best tree growing result, farmer has to apply AF-Green757 not longer than 2 weeks interval.
Papaya Fruit is Hanging on the Tree
Farmer could replace AF-Green757 with AF-Blue10 while the tree is grown up and ready for fruiting. Once the tree is growing up, we always recommend farmer apply 1kg per tree with every 2 weeks interval. AF-Blue10 fortified compost is formulated for better fruit.
The AF-Blue10 is formulated with high Potassium contents, this is to ensure the tree is having sufficient nutrient for better fruit growing. AF-Blue10 could be consistently apply to Papaya tree, this is to ensure the tree always maintain at healthy condition and able to delivery good amount of papaya fruit.
We have many years knowledge working with farmer on planting and growing up tree through-out Malaysia. We always recommend the farmer following above papaya planting scheme. We are not surprised and ready to adopt some minor fine tuning on this papaya planting scheme because the original soil and environmental may varies from time to time. However we should be getting a very good start up harvesting result with this planting scheme.
CH Biotech has been working with many crops plantation throughout Malaysia. We confident and proud of our AF Organic Compost series. Feel free to download Papaya Planting Scheme for working toward healthy tree growing and delicious fruit harvesting. Or you are always welcome contact CH Biotech for any planting needs.
Organic compost is manufacture under consistent process control by CH Biotech,
Organic Compost AF-Compost
perhaps Organic Compost is the basic compost ingredient through standard composting process. CH Biotech has worked with many crops estate for developing suitable organic compost for their dedicate application.
We would like to share with you some advantages of organic compost manufacture from CH Biotech.
Quality of Organic Compost from CH Biotech
We know a quality organic compost could only be achieved if we are very certain with the key input variable. Here are some areas whereby CH Biotech is emphasizing in order to obtain a quality agriculture products.
Consistency of Compost Composition. We are very certain with the basic compost ingredient of our organic compost. Our compost is manufacture by oil palm base composition. With the consistent of basic raw material, we are able to control composting process within the reliable process window.
Controllable Composting Process. Our composting processes has been tested and documented for achieving industry standard. CH Biotech has established several essential steps to ensure the consistency of our organic compost products.
With Proven Composting Result. Our organic compost has been tested showing as a proof on consistent composting result. The consistent compost result has differentiate CH Biotech from other, this is the reason the crop is able to deliver a consistent result.
Parameters that Affecting the Compost Quality
Composting is general term which most people claimed they know the process, however this is hard to master unless you have a quality mind set.
Rotten vs. composting. In many occasion, we observe many people claimed they perform composting however in reality they are selling rotten products. A rotten products will for sure bringing adverse effect to the crops.
Living organism in the Compost. Heat is generated during the composting process, we need to ensure the temperature is control within the acceptable zone without affecting the living organism in the compost.
Uniformity of Compost. Uniformity is the most challenging part to differentiate a quality organic compost with other. A compost consist of various composition sometime is facing more challenge in getting uniformity result. Various waste composting is definitely harder getting a uniformity result.
CH Biotech is capable to develop several type of organic compost for dedicate application. The AF-Compost series of compost is the most suitable compost for organic farming. Through our unique and consistent organic base of compost ingredient, this compost has showed best result as vegetable compost.
Talk with CH Biotech about your planting needs and we are here to work with you in our planting.
We read more articles about organic compost from various sources. We even notice many people study and produce their own compost at the backyard. On the other hand, we also receive some inquiry from user who want to know more about our CP-05 organic compost, such as how we produce and whether the CP-05 product is meeting any specification.
Malaysia is a country emphasize a lot in agriculture activity, many studies, rules and regulation has well established in this country. We are putting up this article together with relevant compost information for our reader.
Malaysia Organic Scheme
Many products have claimed it organic status and sometime we even get confuse. To avoid any ambiguity, Department of Agriculture Malaysia has published a Organic Scheme so that we have a guideline to follow if our products fall into organic category.
Malaysia Organic Scheme
Organic Compost Standard
Malaysi SIRIM. SIRIM has published a standard for organic compost. CH Biotech, as a Malaysia well known organic compost manufacturer, has study the SIRIM needs. Our CP05 organic compost product has been tested and shows compliance to this SIRIM Standard.
US Standard. US also releasing a standard about various application for organic compost. For interested party, you could find out more here.
Compost Specification (US)
General Organic Compost Characteristic. In this article, we are going to learn several importance characteristic for compost. You will have better understanding how should we classified an Organic Compost.
Many users feedback that our organic compost CP-05 has performed very good result in planting. Many planters curious what is the reason that why CP-05 organic compost is performing so good?People is talking about composting and perhaps it sound quite simple. However in CH Biotech, we bring the compost to next level. We are not only producing organic compost product but we make it a consistent product fulfilling certain specification.
Some Key Composition of CP-05 organic compost.
1) Humic Acid. Humic acid is one of the composition to determine a soil healthy condition. A soil consist with humic acid ratio will be a rated as “healthy soil” for promoting plant growth. You can read more about the purpose of humic acid in relevant article.2) Control of C/N ratio. A quality organic compost product is determine with the CN ratio. A compost with high CN ratio will consume the soil nutrition before deliver to the crops.
Test Result on CP-05 Organic Compost
CP-05 has been applying in difference stages during the plantation stage, all shows significant and encouraging result. Please call CH Biotech to understand more about this organic compost.
1) Nursery Stage. Nursery stage is one of the important stage for planting. Our result shows that the top soil added with proportion ratio of organic fertilizer shows better result after several months. The significant result shows in:
More feeder root. The organic test plot show more feeder root than the control sample. The more feeder root imply that the plant has better advantages in nutrient transfer while transferring the plant from nursery to actual planting area.
Larger and greener leaf. Second significant advantages we are observing is leaf size. The crop planted with organic fertilizer sample shows larger in leaf and more leafs after 3 months growth.
2) New Plant Crop. Direct applying NPK fertilizer to a newly planting crop is sort of a challenge. Through out our experience in re-planting stage, we are observing a “fertilizer shock” which happen a new plant apply with NPK fertilizer. In order to minimize the “fertilizer shock”, the planter will apply organic compost during planting stage, especially for the first 3 months of planting.
