Specification

Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to organic fertilizers, specifically a sustainable nutrient solution formulated to serve as an alternative to diammonium phosphate (DAP) in agriculture. The formula is derived from locally sourced organic materials that enhance soil fertility, improve plant health, and promote environmentally friendly agricultural practices.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The use of synthetic fertilizers, especially diammonium phosphate (DAP), has become prevalent in modern agriculture to meet the high demand for crop productivity. However, these fertilizers pose several environmental challenges, including soil degradation, water pollution, and biodiversity loss. Over time, the heavy application of chemical fertilizers like DAP disrupts soil pH, reduces organic matter, and negatively affects microbial activity, leading to a decline in soil fertility. Additionally, the runoff from synthetic fertilizers contributes to nutrient pollution in water bodies, causing eutrophication and harming aquatic ecosystems.
Apart from environmental concerns, the cost of DAP and other synthetic fertilizers is a significant burden for smallholder farmers, particularly in developing regions. Rising prices of these inputs have increased farming costs, making it challenging for small-scale farmers to afford and access these essential nutrients for crop growth. This financial barrier limits productivity and the potential for sustainable agricultural practices among small farmers who cannot bear the costs of continuous fertilizer use. Furthermore, the dependency on synthetic fertilizers has led to a lack of focus on sustainable alternatives that could alleviate these economic pressures while benefiting the environment.
There is a growing demand for organic and eco-friendly alternatives that support soil health, enhance crop growth, and reduce the reliance on synthetic fertilizers. Organic fertilizers offer a solution by utilizing natural ingredients that replenish soil nutrients without harmful side effects. Unlike synthetic fertilizers, organic alternatives decompose slowly, releasing nutrients gradually, which minimizes nutrient leaching and promotes sustainable soil management. However, many organic fertilizers are not formulated to match the nutrient balance provided by DAP, particularly in terms of phosphorus, which is critical for root development and overall plant health. This has created a gap in the availability of effective organic alternatives that provide similar benefits to DAP but in a sustainable, environmentally safe manner.
The BioPhos Green Formula addresses this gap by utilizing locally sourced organic ingredients to create a nutrient solution comparable to DAP in terms of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium availability. Through a fermentation process, this invention enhances nutrient bioavailability while promoting microbial activity, improving soil structure, and supporting plant growth. The formula uses commonly available organic materials, making it accessible and affordable for farmers. By integrating environmentally friendly practices into crop production, this invention offers a sustainable, cost-effective alternative to synthetic fertilizers, promoting both agricultural productivity and environmental conservation.

The BioPhos Green Formula is formulated using a blend of natural ingredients selected for their nutrient properties, including earthen pots, bael fruit, papaya peels, spoiled bananas, black jaggery, mustard cake, aged buttermilk, and lemons. The earthen pot serves as a natural containment vessel that promotes microbial activity during the fermentation process. Bael fruit and papaya peels are rich in organic acids and enzymes that improve phosphorus availability and nutrient absorption. Spoiled bananas are included for their high sugar content, which fuels microbial fermentation, while black jaggery supplies essential minerals comparable to DAP's nutrient profile.
The formulation process begins by combining all ingredients in an earthen pot, which is then buried underground to maintain optimal moisture and temperature for fermentation. The fermentation period typically lasts between 15 to 20 days, during which the natural ingredients undergo microbial decomposition. This decomposition process releases bioavailable nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, which are essential for healthy plant growth. Throughout fermentation, occasional stirring ensures that the contents are evenly mixed, promoting thorough microbial activity and nutrient release.
Once fermentation is complete, the mixture is diluted for field application. The diluted solution is then applied as a soil drench or foliar spray depending on the crop type and soil conditions. For small garden applications, a dilution of 1-2 liters per square meter is recommended, while larger agricultural plots benefit from a more concentrated application rate of 100 liters of diluted solution per 0.5 acres. This flexible application allows for an even distribution of nutrients, supporting microbial growth and nutrient cycling in the soil, enhancing soil structure, and improving moisture retention.
The BioPhos Green Formula is designed to be a sustainable, cost-effective alternative to synthetic fertilizers. Its slow-release nutrient profile provides crops with a steady supply of essential nutrients, reducing the need for frequent fertilizer applications. This organic fertilizer not only enhances crop yield but also improves soil health by increasing microbial diversity, promoting nutrient cycling, and reducing the environmental impact associated with synthetic fertilizers. By integrating eco-friendly practices into the formulation, the invention supports sustainable agriculture and offers a practical solution for farmers seeking to reduce chemical dependency.
