The process of production compost tea and its usage in agriculture: a review
Journal Title: International Journal of Farming and Allied Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
By mixing compost with water and culturing for a limited period.The use of Compost teas have useful effects on plants. High quality compost refers to compost that is high in microbiological activity. Compost tea is made by two brewing methods: non-aerated method and aerated method. For both methods, microbial food may or may not be added in compost tea production. The inconsistency has been associated with a number of factors that affect the production process. Compost contains a diverse group of organisms dominated by bacteria and fungi participating in decomposing of organic matter. Compost teas decrease plant Disease when used as soil drenches or foliar sprays. Compost tea as potential alternatives are viewed to use of synthetic chemical fungicides. Dilution of the tea prior to foliar application may reduce the nutrients and microbial population. Compost is comprised of a large and diverse community of microbes, human acids and other chemical nutrients such as carbon and nitrogen that soil and healthy plant growth.
