Fermented Organic Manure (FOM) and Liquid Fermented Organic Manure (LFOM) are both types of organic fertilizers used in agriculture to enhance soil fertility and promote plant growth. Here’s a brief overview of each:
Fermented Organic Manure (FOM)
- Composition: Typically made from plant and animal wastes that are decomposed and fermented.
- Benefits: Improves soil structure, increases microbial activity, provides essential nutrients to plants, and enhances water retention in the soil.
- Application: Applied to the soil around the plants. It can be used in gardens, farms, and for various crops.
Liquid Fermented Organic Manure (LFOM)
- Composition: A liquid version of organic manure, often created by fermenting organic materials in water.
- Benefits: Quickly absorbed by plants, can be used as a foliar spray or soil drench, and provides a fast-acting source of nutrients.
- Application: Diluted with water and applied as a foliar spray or directly to the soil. Ideal for drip irrigation systems and foliar feeding.
PROM (Phosphate-Rich Organic Manure)
- Composition: A type of organic manure enriched with phosphate.
- Benefits: Provides a sustainable source of phosphorus, enhances root development, and improves flowering and fruiting in plants.
- Application: Can be mixed with soil or applied around the base of plants.
