There are two types of liquid organic fertilizer made through the composting process. The first is a liquid organic fertilizer which is prepared by dissolving the organic fertilizer that has been finished or semi-finished into the water. Type-soluble fertilizers can be green manure, manure, compost or a mixture of everything. This kind of liquid organic fertilizer characteristics are not much different from the solid organic fertilizer, it's just that his form is a liquid. In the language easier, roughly like the tea dipped in water and water used for fertilizer.
This type of liquid fertilizer solution suspension less stable and easy to precipitate. We could not save these types of fertilizer in the long term. After so normally should be used immediately. Its application is sprinkled with fertilizer on the soil surface around plants, not sprayed onto the leaves.
The second is a liquid organic fertilizer made from organic materials are fermented in anaerobic conditions with the help of living organisms. The raw material of organic material that has not been composted. Nutrients contained in the liquid fertilizer solution of this type is really liquid. So the solution is more stable. If the left does not precipitate. Therefore, nature and characteristics were different with liquid fertilizer made from solid fertilizer dissolved in water. This paper intends to discuss the organic liquid fertilizer second type.
The nature and characteristics of the liquid organic fertilizer
Liquid organic fertilizer can not be used as the primary fertilizer in farming. We recommend using solid organic fertilizer as the main fertilizer / base. Solid organic fertilizer will be stored longer in growing media and can provide nutrients for the long term. Meanwhile, existing nutrients in the liquid manure carried more susceptible to erosion. But on the other hand, is more easily digested by the plant.
Type liquid fertilizer more effective and efficient when applied to the leaves, flowers and stems than the growing media (except in the hydroponic method). Liquid organic fertilizer can serve as a stimulus to grow. Especially when the plants begin to sprout or when the change from vegetative to generative phase to stimulate the growth of fruits and seeds. Leaves and stems can absorb fertilizers applied directly through the stomata or pores that exist on its surface.
Liquid organic fertilizer through the leaves have to be careful. Take care not to overdose, because it could kill the plants. Giving excessive foliar fertilizers will also invite pests and diseases in plants. Thus, the accuracy of the dose should be strictly observed to obtain maximum results.
Each plant has the capacity to absorb nutrients as food. Theoretically, the only plant capable of absorbing the nutrients available in the soil no more than 2% per day. The leaves, although we have not found the exact figures, it can be estimated that the number is not more than 2%. Therefore, a liquid organic fertilizer on the leaves should be diluted first.
Because of its nature as an additional fertilizer, organic liquid fertilizer should be rich in micro-nutrients. While the macro nutrients met by major fertilizer through the soil, organic liquid fertilizer should provide more micro-nutrients. To get a micro-nutrient content, can be removed from the raw materials of fertilizer.
How to make a liquid organic fertilizer
Prepare the following materials: 1 sack of chicken manure, half a sack of bran, 30 kg of forage (hay, gedebong banana, leaf legume), 100 grams of brown sugar, 50 ml bio-activator (EM4), water to taste.
Prepare an airtight plastic barrels of 100 liters as a medium sized fertilizer production, one meter aerotor transparent hose (diameter approximately 0.5 cm), plastic bottles Akua size of 1 liter. Punch a hole the size of a hose drum lids aerotor.
Cut or chopped organic materials that will be used as feedstock. Enter into the vat and add water, composition: 2 parts organic material, 1 part water. Then stir until evenly distributed.
Dissolve bio-activator such as EM4 and brown sugar 5 liters of water mix well. Then add the solution into a vat containing fertilizer raw materials.
Drum lids tightly, then insert the hose through the drum lids that have been given hole. Glue a sign hose so no air gap. Let the other end of the hose into the bottle which had been given water.
Make sure really tightly, as the reaction will take place anaerobically. Hose function is to stabilize the temperature of the dough to get rid of gas produced without any air from outside into the barrel.
Wait until 7-10 days. To check the level of maturity, open the lid of the barrel smell the dough. If the fragrance like the fragrance tape, the dough is cooked.
Separate the waste liquid by filtering. Use filter fabric. Dregs of dough can be used as solid organic fertilizer.
Enter the liquid that has passed the screening on plastic or glass jar, cover tightly. Liquid organic fertilizer has been finished and is ready for use. When packaged, the fertilizer can be used up to 6 months.

The use of liquid organic fertilizer
Liquid organic fertilizer applied on leaves, flowers or stems. You do this by diluting the fertilizer with clean water first and then sprayed on the plants. Conc liquid organic fertilizer to be sprayed must not be more than 2%. In most products, dilution performed until the hundredth time. That is, every 1 liter fertilizer diluted in 100 liters of water.
To stimulate the growth of leaves, liquid organic fertilizer can be sprayed on plants newly sprouted. Meanwhile, to produce fruit, seeds or bulbs, fertilizer plants are sprayed when the phase change from vegetative to generative. Can be sprayed directly on the flowers or the stems and leaves. Each spraying should be done at intervals of one week if drought or three days during the rainy season. However, this dose should be adjusted again to the type of plants to be sprayed.
In the case of fertilizer for the growth of leaves, use a liquid organic fertilizer that contains nitrogen. The trick is to make fertilizer from raw materials rich in nitrogen such as chicken manure, forage and hay. While in the case of fertilizer for the growth of fruit, use of raw materials of fertilizer rich in potassium and phosphorus, such as goat manure, cow manure, rice husks and bran. The content of each type of organic material can be seen in the following table.
Simply to say, to create a stimulating leaf fertilizer use source of organic material of the type of leaves. Meanwhile, to make fertilizer use organic fruit inducement of residual waste such as rice husks fruit or fruit skins.
