Farmyard manure (FYM) is often not available easily in sufficient quantities, and hence farmers are using chemical fertilizer which reduces the fertility and the organic content of the soil. Humic content in soils is also reduced. To address this issue, MCRC developed a simple technology for producing humic acid, resulting in a product called Vitamate.
Vitamate is an organic liquid fertilizer rich in humic acid, designed for use as a foliar spray. It is produced through the recycling of locally available resources, specifically cow dung and leafy biomass, via liquid-state fermentation for 45 days. The resulting manure is rich in humic content, bioactive organic compounds and minerals that are essential for plant growth.
