Farmer From NagpurI am a farmer, and considering the unreliable conditions of the weather, I need good fertilizer to wake sure that my crops are free from going bad. Manas provides excellent quality biofertilizer, which provides my soil with nutrients and increases its fertility. The fertilizer also helps my crops become more resistant to sudden and unexpected change in the weather.
Press Mud is a by-product generated while producing sugar. It contains a high percentage of organic nitrogen, phosphate and potassium. Organic Bio-Fertilizers is produced from this press mud. This fertilizer has proved to be immensely useful in protecting the soil.
MAIIL is always urging the farmers to use bio fertilizers to conserve the productivity of the soil.
Press mud is very rich in organic carbon, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Calcium, Magnesium, Sulphur and micronutrients.
When it is used in the distilleries in the treatment & disposal of spent wash, its overall fertilizer value improves especially for Potassium & micronutrients. This compost plays a significant role in the drive for organic farming.
It is the controlled biological decomposition of organic material by microorganisms and this is a natural process.

Do MAIIL further enrich the compost obtained from press mud and Spent Wash?
Yes. Although the compost obtained from press mud & Spent Wash is rich in plant nutrients, we further enrich it by adding certain by-products available in the same industrial complex like boiler ash, yeast sludge & sludge from bio methanation plant.
These products require disposal in an eco-friendly manner and their use in enriching the compost is of great beneficial because it gives a value addition to the compost in terms of increasing the concentration of plant nutrients.

The benefits of Humus in crop production are as follows:
- Increased organic carbon content
- Better moisture retention
- Better Aeration
- Slowly & gradually long lasting release of plant nutrients.
- Better Activity of beneficial microorganisms in the soil.
