Can corn residue be used as fertilizer?

Corn residue as fertilizer

Corn residue can be used as fertilizer, but it cannot be used directly as fertilizer because the fresh corn residue contains a lot of starch and cannot provide nutrition for plants. Therefore, it must be fermented before being applied to plants and flowers.

The residue after corn processing is a very good fertilizer for growing flowers, because the roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits and skins of corn contain some minerals, rich organic and inorganic substances. Not only do they have many benefits for planting flowers and trees, they can also improve the permeability of the soil and are suitable for most flowers and plants.

How to make corn residue into fertilizer

1. Mix it into the soil for fermentation, that is, mix the corn dregs and soil, a layer of corn dregs and a layer of soil, add them into the container in turn, and then seal it and wait for the day of decomposition. The process is basically three months, a little longer in winter and a little shorter in summer. You can use it directly when you change the soil next time.

2. To make liquid fertilizer, boil the corn residue with water, then pour it into a container and ferment it for about three months. Generally, the fermentation is complete when there is no odor. When watering, dilute the fertilizer water with 20 parts of clean water and then water the flowers.

Key points for using corn residue fertilizer

1. Do not use raw materials that are moldy, spoiled, or have a strange odor as fermentation raw materials.

2. When stacking or loading the pool, it should be sealed but not pressed tightly.

3. When feeding from containers or bags, the containers should be sealed immediately to avoid contamination, corruption and deterioration.
