This kitchen item works as good NPK Fertilizer with all other Nutrients.
And for arranging all
these NPK nutrient and other micronutrient based fertilizers we generally move out
of our home. But do you know that there is a secret place in your home from
where we can arrange all these NPK and other micronutrients that we required to
grow a plant.
So here we are going
to explain about one of the best sources of NPK and other micronutrient that is
almost always available inside your kitchen. And this kitchen item name is Gram
Flour. Gram Flour is the most common item which almost available in each home
because we generally used to make it for making our food.
In this article we
will explain the following details of gram flour which is required to know for
using it as a plant fertilizer
What is gram flour and how it is made
Types of Nutrients
and minerals that generally contain in gram flour
How we can convert it
into a useful NPK fertilizer with all other nutrients
And how to this NPK
fertilizer for plants
So let’s start with the introduction of gram flour
Gram flour is a most
common kitchen item that is known from varies names in different countries like
It is commonly known
as Besan in india, In USA and other countries it is also known as chickpeas peas
flour and there may be some more names also. Most commonly gram flour made up
with dry chickpeas by fine grinding process. When we grind dry chickpeas then
it convert into fine powder that is called gram flour, Besan or Chickpeas
flour.
Types of Nutrients and minerals that generally contain in gram flour
If we check gram
flour nutrient value then we will found that this is good source of many Nutrients
or Minerals which a plant also need for its proper growth.
Like
Calcium
(Ca) which is help a plant
to build and hold its cell of walls and if there is some calcium deficiency in
a plant then new leaves do not get its proper shape.
Copper (Cu) which is required
to maintain the respiration process of a plant and it also help to develop the metabolism
for proper growth.
Iron (Fe) which helps
a plant to generate energy for photosynthesis process and activation of enzymes
for proper growth.
Magnesium (Mg) which help
a plant in the production of chlorophyll by which a plants leave color appear green
and shiny.
Manganese (Mn) helps
a plant for maintaining various necessary functions like photosynthesis and also in the development
of pollen tube.
Phosphorous (P) helps
a plant to formation of strong deep roots by which a plant can become stable
and stable for growing towards up side. It also helps a plant to build their
flowers and fruits.
Potassium (K) helps a
plant to develop its immune system and make its stem stronger. It also helps a
plant to build its flowers and fruits in optimum size.
Zinc (Zn) also helps
a plant in proper photosynthesis process and production of chlorophyll.
How
to convert Gram flour into useful NPK fertilizer
All above minerals
and nutrients are playing a wide role for developing a plant in proper way if
we can able to convert them into a useful plant fertilizer.
But all these nutrients
and minerals are available in gram flour into complex substances that a plant cannot
uptake directly so for converting all these nutrients from complex substances
to simple substances we need to perform a decomposition process and convert it
into a plant food.
And if we want to
convert one Kg of gram flour into plant food then here we are explain the right
process
For converting 1 kg Gram flour into a good NPK fertilizer we need to use following items:-
One Bowl
One KG Gram Flour for making npk fertilizer
One KG organic Compost or vermicompost or cow
dung compost whatever is available for increase the microorganism activity for decomposition
process.
Small quantity of molasses or jiggery for
boosting the composting process
Steps for Making NPK fertilizer with Gram Flour
Step-1
First of all pour these
all these items into a bowl one by one and fill it with one litter of clean
water.
Step-2
Now mix these all
items into each other properly and make sure that all lumps would remove
completely.
Step-3
Now after the mixing
process, we will cover this mixture with clean cotton cloth and keep under a
shady area at least for 48 hours.
And within the 48
hours, compost microbes will do their job and decompose all gram flour and
other ingredient properly. After the decomposition process all nutrients which
are available in gram flour will convert in simple form that a plant can uptake
easily for its proper growth.
Now after the
decomposition process our liquid NPK fertilizer is ready to use. And we can
store it in an air tight container.
How to use this NPK fertilizer in plants
For using this NPK
liquid fertilizer, first of all we will take its required amount into a
container or bucket and now we need to mix the clean water into it which quantity
must be ten times more than pure fertilizer.
In other words, for
using this liquid fertilizer we should always mix its required quantity with
clean water in the proposition of 1:10 means we should take one part of this
Liquid NPK fertilizer and 10 part of clean water.
And after proper
mixing we should pour it directly in our plant’s soil.
Using frequency
We can use it once /
week for better result and our plant will get all required nutrient for their
growth.
So friends this was
the details by which we can convert the gram flour into an effective NPK
fertilizer with all other micro nutrients. I hope this information will help you
and for any further query you can direct write us in comment box and we will
try to answer you within 24 hours.
