  • Purpose of Humic Acid

    Humic acid is one of the essential compositions while determining soil quality. A soil which lack of

    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.

  • Export CP-05 Organic Compost to overseas?

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

    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.

    Experiment Setup

    1)      Exp 1. 85% Red Soil (Tanah Merah) + 15% (CP-05 organic compost)

    2)      Control. 100% Red Soil (Tanah Merah)

    Time taken: 2 months

    Root System Growth Exp.
    Root System Growth Exp.

    Apply Compost Result

    After 2 months time, we remove the packing and compare the root system. As what we learn, the Exp.1 setup with include 15% or organic compost is giving much more feeder root as compare to the control red soil.
