FAQ:What are the common problems in the production of bio-organic fertilizer?

Answer: The production of bio-organic fertilizer involves many processes and requires high levels of process control. New factories and those in mass production commonly encounter four main categories of common problems: fermentation, granulation, quality, and cost. These are also the core issues affecting fertilizer compliance and production efficiency.

First is inadequate fermentation and composting. This is the most common problem in production, mostly caused by an imbalance in the dry-to-wet ratio of raw materials, improper inoculum addition, and untimely turning. This easily leads to incomplete fermentation, residual pathogens and insect eggs, root and seedling burn in the finished fertilizer, and may also be accompanied by a pungent odor, mold, and blackening, directly resulting in products that do not meet industry testing standards.

Second is poor granulation formation. Excessive or insufficient moisture content in the composted material, uneven powder particle size, and chaotic auxiliary material ratios can all cause problems such as poor granulation, loose granules, excessive powder, and clumping of the finished product. This not only reduces the yield rate but also affects fertilizer storage and transportation, increasing production losses.

Third is the problem of inactivated inoculum activity. During production, high-temperature drying, sun-drying storage, and incorrect timing of microbial inoculation often lead to the inactivation of a large number of beneficial bacteria, resulting in substandard bacterial counts and poor fertilizer efficiency in the finished product. This negates the core advantages of bio-organic fertilizer in improving soil, promoting growth, and preventing diseases, significantly reducing product competitiveness.

Fourthly, there are issues with mass production and cost control. Many small production lines suffer from unreasonable equipment configurations, cumbersome processes, and significant labor waste. Simultaneously, inadequate raw material pretreatment and high losses during finished product screening lead to low production efficiency, high defect rates, and overall high production costs, impacting the return on investment.
