The Danger of Raw Chicken Manure: Preventing Root Burn and Grubs

Many cardamom growers use poultry manure because it is packed with high levels of nitrogen. However, applying raw, untreated chicken litter directly into your crop basins can cause serious problems. Raw manure generates intense heat that can burn delicate roots, releases harmful ammonia gas, and often contains the eggs of destructive root grubs.

Before applying any animal manure to your valuable spice plants, you need to compost and sanitize it thoroughly. Mixing your manure heaps with Metarhizium anisopliae and Decomposing Microbes breaks down the raw organic waste safely, neutralizes excess heat, and eliminates root grub larvae before they ever reach your crop basins.

Make your organic fertilizing routine completely safe. Get your sanitizing cultures from Bactostore at www.peaklab.co.in or order over the phone at 9146150117.
