He regularly sprinkled the organic fertiliser made from decomposed black fly larvae until 75 days after planting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He has been using<a href=\"https:\/\/trubus.id\/gunakan-pupuk-cair-magot-hasil-panen-padi-petani-di-karawang-meningkat-25\/\"><u>\u00a0750 milliliters<\/u><\/a>\u00a0of liquid maggot for every 17 litres of water to boost his paddy crop. In-between the sprinkling days, the farmer has also alternated with Urea to give the plants another organic nitrogen dose.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, he has employed liquid maggot 5 times over the average 3-month rice growing duration in the tropics. \u00a0Ruskim told Indonesia\u2019s agricultural site Trubus that he sprayed the product on the 7<sup>th<\/sup>, 15<sup>th<\/sup>, 22<sup>nd<\/sup>, 25<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0and 75<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0days.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This development in Indonesia is happening when research for safer\u00a0soil enrichments is ongoing to reduce chemical damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, on February 27, the government of Indonesia pledged to raise the amount of fertiliser subsidies to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldfertilizer.com\/environment\/27022024\/the-government-of-indonesia-to-increase-subsidised-fertilizer-from-47-million-t-to-955-million-t-in-2024\/\"><u>9.5 million tonne<\/u><\/a>s in 2024. This will bring down costs and help farmers like Ruskim access organic soil enrichment agents in sufficient quantities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-switch-to-liquid-maggot\"><strong>Switch to Liquid Maggot<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the research, the switch to this organic alternative has had its limitations. There is a lack of a suitable composition that provides enough potassium nutrients similar to those from conventional fertilisers such as NPK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To solve this problem, researchers have been combining liquid maggot with&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.semanticscholar.org\/paper\/NPK-CONCENTRATION-IN-LIQUID-MAGGOT-FERTILIZER-MADE-Yosilia-Hoya\/67e012202807def493612dc4cc017094bcb25b08\"><u>fruit waste&nbsp;<\/u><\/a>and organic matter from popular consumer sources including hotels. These combinations could boost the potassium levels but may not meet those of phosphorous, another vital nutrient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Indonesian case, Ruskim used 210 kg of urea per hectare when the plants were 25 days old to supply missing nutrients.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, a dose of 5.6 liters of liquid maggot at the age of 2 months helped the rice draw sufficient vitamins in time for developing grain pods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, the application of new organic alternatives to conventional fertilisers is not only a yield booster but sustainable, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A farmer in Karawang, West Java in Indonesia has used liquid maggot fertiliser and boosted rice production by 25%.\u00a0His results could pave way for further research on the nutritional benefits of this hydroponic fertiliser.
