Production of Environmentally-Friendly Biocompost Fertilizer in Iran
"Our product is a biocompost and nanocompost, and an intermediate between chemical fertilizer and animal manure which is used in the agricultural field. In other words, it enjoys the energy and additional elements of chemical fertilizers but does not have the contamination of livestock and animal fertilizers; a type of fertilizer that has the advantages of both types of fertilizers but without their problems and disadvantages, and can be a suitable alternative to the use of animal manure by farmers,” Reza Kazzemi, a Ph.D. student of Biotechnology at Islamic Azad University’s Yasouj branch, said on the sidelines of the 23rd Exhibition of Research, Technology, and Techmarket in Tehran.
He described wastes produced in houses, agricultural sector and factories, specially juice production plants, as the main ingredients of the biocompost and nanocompost.
“They are collected from the plants and useful bacteria are added to them in the laboratory environment. After this stage, based on the existing formulas, heavy and harmful elements are separated from household waste, and finally, a high-quality and completely biological product is manufactured based on the European indicators which contains materials needed by all types of garden, crop and potted plants," Kazzemi said.
The 23rd Exhibition of Research, Technology, and Techmarket was inaugurated at Tehran Permanent International Fairgrounds on December 10 and wrapped up on December 14.
Islamic Azad University participated in the exhibition with 300 research and technological products, and five knowledge-based products have been manufactured in the incubator center of Science and Research branch.
