FERTILIZER FEEDING MACHINE-APSSDC

Feeding your crop in a timely, and efficient, manner is big business these days as farmers work to maximize their returns on that seed investment. This research aimed at developing organic fertilizer machinery which can be producing organic fertilizer for small to large scale farming to restore lost fertility to the soil and boosting crop production. Organic fertilizer is the end product obtained by converting various organic wastes such as crop residue, urban wastes, poultry droppings, animal dung, etc., into a usable fertilizer by a modified aerobic anaerobic process of composting. Organic fertilizer has advantages which include: high nutrient content; suitability to a range of crops; fast biodegradability and safety. Organic fertilizers are used as supplements to chemical fertilizers, thereby reducing the import of the chemicals. The agriculture sector is deemed unsustainable with the negative environmental consequences on the soil condition, since the current agriculture practices are basically chemical based farming, which make considerable contributions to the degradation of the natural resources, particularly soils. Heavy application of Chemical fertilizers has polluted surface and groundwater resources
