Microbial Extract

Due to the lack of organic carbon in the soil, biological processes are not as effective in the soil right now. Organic carbon acts as food for microorganisms. The waste material of these microorganisms, ‘microbial extract’, is the main food for plants. The process of making ‘microbial extract’ activates biological processes in water. After this, it is directly sprayed on the roots and leaves of the plants so that the plants get the required nutrition.

In the process of making it, we use pure and chlorine-free water. To meet the oxygen demand of the microorganisms in the water, air is blown into the water with an aerobic pump or the water is rotated.

Recipe of Microbial Extract

  • ORGANIC HUMUS

    5 KG - WORM POOP

    (Unflitered)

    Use 5 to 10 kg

    as per your requirement;

    adjust water for desired thickness.

  • WATER

    100 LTR.-WATER (Chlorine free)

    Let water sit for 24 hours to remove chlorine and support microorganism growth.

    Use RO or Rainwater for better results .

  • MOLESSES

    300 ML-MOLASSES

    Add molasses to increase the population of microorganisms.

    Use as optional

    Based on your requirement.

    100 ml - seaweed extract

    100 ml - Humic acid

100 Liter Microbial Extract

Production Method

Preparation Method

100 lt - Drum Water Fill

Hang the Microbial Extract in a cloth bag or immerse it directly in water, then add molasses to boost microorganism activity.

Airflow Mixing

Install a 140 L/min air pump or aerator to oxygenate microorganisms, ensuring continuous water circulation for 24-48 hours.

After 24 hours, add seaweed extract and humic acid to enhance the solution's effectiveness.

Filtered Solution

After collecting it, filter the solution and use it as a Microbial Extract.

You can mix the remaining part into soil or compost as it doesn’t spoil. For best results, use the solution within 2-3 days

Use in Plant Spray

How to use?

  • Dilution: If your worm tea is concentrated, dilute it. A common ratio is 1 part worm tea to 10 parts water. This ensures it won’t overwhelm plants with too much nitrogen or salts.
  • Spray on the Leaves-Spray the worm casting tea onto both the top and bottom of the plant leaves. Ensure you coat the leaves evenly but avoid over-wetting them. Focus on areas where pests or diseases are present
  • Time of Day: Spray in the early morning or late afternoon. Avoid midday to prevent leaf burn caused by sunlight on wet leaves.
  • Coverage: Spray evenly on the leaves (both tops and undersides), stems, and flowers. The undersides of leaves are particularly important as pests often hide there.
  • Frequency -:Apply the spray every 7-14 days for regular plant health. You can increase the frequency if plants need extra care, or reduce it if they’re already healthy..
  • Observe and Adjust- After applying the tea, monitor the plants for any signs of improvement or stress. If needed, adjust the frequency or dilution.
  • After spraying, pour the leftover tea around the base of the plants to nourish the roots

Benefits

  • Boosts Immunity: The beneficial microbes in worm casting tea help plants resist pests and diseases.
  • Improves Nutrient Uptake: The nutrients in the tea are absorbed quickly by the leaves, enhancing plant growth.
  • Improves Soil Health: When sprayed on leaves, the tea also benefits the soil when it drips down, supporting the growth of beneficial microbes.
  • Healthier Plants Resist Pests: Plants receiving regular worm tea sprays tend to be more vigorous and resilient. Strong, healthy plants can fend off pests better than stressed or nutrient-deficient plants, creating an indirect form of pest protection

Use in Drip Irrigation

How to use?

  • Use non-chlorinated water if possible as chlorine can harm the beneficial microorganisms in the tea.
  • Make sure your drip irrigation system is set up correctly and working with clean tubing and emitters.
  • The general recommendation is to use a ratio of 1:4 (tea to water), but you can adjust this based on the condition of your plants and soil.
  • Run the system for 10-15 minutes depending on the size of your garden or number of plants. Worm tea should be applied directly to the soil, especially around the root zone.
  • Use worm casting tea every 2-4 weeks for general soil health. For plants in high-stress environments (such as during blooming or fruiting), you may want to apply it more frequently (e.g., every 1-2 weeks).
  • Young Plants: For seedlings or small plants, you can use up to 1 cup (about 25 -50 ml) of deworming tea diluted with about 1/4 water per plant.
  • Mature Plants: For fully grown plants (e.g., tomatoes or cucumbers), you can use up to 1 cup (about 100 -200 ml) of deworming tea diluted with about 1/4 water per plant.
  • Root Zone: Make sure the tea is applied to the root zone where the plant will benefit the most.

Benefits

Improved Soil Structure

  • Worm castings tea is rich in beneficial microorganisms that help to improve soil structure. When applied via drip irrigation, it enhances soil aeration, water retention, and nutrient availability, leading to healthier plant roots.

Increased Nutrient Uptake

  • The tea contains a wide range of essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, and trace minerals. These nutrients are delivered directly to the plants through the drip system, ensuring efficient absorption, promoting faster growth, and improving fruit or vegetable yield.

Microbial Activity Boost

  • Worm castings tea is teeming with beneficial microbes like bacteria and fungi. These microorganisms help break down organic matter in the soil, making nutrients more available to plants. They also outcompete harmful pathogens, reducing the risk of root diseases.

Enhanced Plant Health

  • The use of worm castings tea in drip irrigation promotes overall plant health by increasing the plant’s natural resistance to pests, diseases, and environmental stressors. Healthy plants are better equipped to deal with stress like drought, heat, and nutrient deficiencies.

Sustainable and Organic Fertilization

  • Worm castings tea is an organic alternative to synthetic fertilizers, reducing the environmental impact of agricultural practices. It enhances sustainability by fostering healthier soil without relying on harmful chemicals.

Faster Growth and Increased Yields

  • Consistent application of worm castings tea can lead to faster root development and accelerated plant growth. This is particularly beneficial in vegetable farming, where healthy, fast-growing plants often result in higher yields.

Reduced Salt Buildup

  • Drip irrigation systems can sometimes lead to salt buildup in the soil, which may damage plants. Worm castings tea helps prevent this by promoting better soil health and facilitating the breakdown of salts.

Cost-Effective

  • Since worm castings tea is a natural fertilizer, it can reduce the need for expensive chemical fertilizers. Drip irrigation systems are efficient at delivering the tea directly to the root zone, reducing waste and improving cost-effectiveness.
