Bioculum AW: Ready to use decomposer for crop sustainability

In the heart of sustainable agriculture lies a simple yet profound concept: turning waste into wealth. Imagine a world where organic farm waste is not a burden but a valuable resource that enriches the soil, nurtures plants, and promotes a healthier environment. This vision is brought to life by Bioculum AW, a groundbreaking microorganism culture designed for rapid aerobic composting of organic waste.

Product Composition

It comprises microorganisms of proprietary nature. It contains cultures of bacteria/Fungi along with enzymes.

Mode of action of Bioculum AW

Bioculum-AW decomposes the material aerobically, increasing the temperature of the composting material by 25 to 300 C (degrees Celsius) above ambient. The process breaks down large organic molecules, absorbing nitrogen and releasing CO2. This accelerates the natural composting process, transforming garbage into rich manure without utilising any poisonous or hazardous ingredients.

Preparation of Bioculum AW

1. Prepare the Slurry: Create a Bioculum AW slurry by mixing the product with water.
2. Mix with Waste: Thoroughly mix the slurry into the organic waste.
3. Form a Heap: Arrange the treated waste into a heap and monitor the temperature, which should rise to around 70°C.
4. Weekly Turning: Turn the heap once a week to ensure proper aeration and decomposition.
5. Functional Benefits: Accelerates aerobic composting of biodegradable Organic Farm Waste. Preserves plant nutrients and minerals in the end product. Very safe to handle and easy to apply. Helps in producing bio stabilized organic manure free from pathogens, foul smell and weed seeds. An eco-friendly product to solve waste management problems in agriculture farms.

Benefits

Bioculum AW enhances soil health and fertility by boosting microbial activity and releasing essential nutrients, while protecting plants from pests and diseases. For farmers, it means healthier crops, higher yields, and reduced reliance on chemical fertilizers, leading to increased profitability and sustainable farming practices.

1. Enhances Soil Health and Fertility: Bioculum AW boosts microbial activity and releases essential nutrients, improving soil health and fertility.
2. Defends Against Pests and Diseases: It helps protect plants from bacterial, fungal, and viral infections, reducing the incidence of pests and diseases.
3. Rapid Composting: Bioculum AW quickly converts organic waste into nutrient-rich compost, providing valuable nutrients for plants.
4. Improves Seed Germination and Seedling Protection: It enhances seed germination rates and safeguards young seedlings, promoting healthy early growth.
5. Fast-Acting Composting Culture: This ready-to-use formulation is the fastest-acting composting culture available to Indian farmers, transforming organic waste into compost in just 30-35 days through aerobic processes.

Crop Compatibility

• Recommended for all crops such as fields, horticulture, perennials, and vegetables, including nursery and main fields.
• The completed compost manure can be used on lawns, nurseries, and farmer’s fields. It can be used as a bioorganic soil enricher in agriculture and horticulture crops.
• It is ideal for all types of organic farm waste generated during agricultural operations. This trash is an excellent source of organic nutrients. Proper composting can convert it into a very rich supply of stable organic manure that is high in nutrients.

Dosage

To achieve optimal results with Bioculum AW, it is important to use the correct dosage. 1 kg of Bioculum AW is capable of degrading 1,000 kilograms (1 metric ton) of organic waste.

Method of Application 

• If the waste is soggy, then sprinkle the powder directly on the waste and mix it thoroughly. If the waste is dry, prepare a slurry using water at 30 litres of water per one kg of Bioculum AW and then spray on to the waste. After mixing, the treated waste may be arranged in the form of a heap. For better results, keep the width of the heap as 3 to 4 meters and height up to 2 meters. 
• Moisture level of the heap should be maintained up to 40-45%. If necessary, spray water in between to maintain the moisture level.
• Turn the heap upside down every week for proper aeration.
• If temperature does not rise above 60°C during the first week of heap formation, add Bioculum AW at the rate of half the earlier dosage during first turning.
• Bioculum AW can decompose the agriculture waste in the open plot too within 35 to 40 days, however in the open plot, the temperature rise is not achieved and removal of weed seed & insects is difficult.

Storage and Shelf Life of Bioculum AW

Bioculum AW should be stored in a dry environment, away from direct sunlight, at temperatures between 10 and 40°C. The product has a shelf life of one year.
