Due to Unavailability of phosphatic fertilizer in market, the yield level and soil fertility is decreasing day by day. To solve this problem we have introduced our own Phospho Compost project since 2007-08 .For this context Initially collaborations with Vasumitra Life Energies Pvt. Ltd, Pune. & excitingly Varun Phosphates And Bio-Organics Pvt.Ltd.
we have introduced our products through this project,viz Organic Phosphatic Fertilizer,SHAHU PHOSPHO COMPOST prepared from well decomposed in reached compost, Rock phosphate & phosphate solublizing herbal extract etc. We have conducted trials of this phospho compost on 100 acre with D.A.P fertilizer. In result it is found that yield level is increased by 3 to 5 M.T/acre & average sugar recovery by 0.15 % .
Some important properties of the Shahu Phospho Compost are as follows:
