There’s good news for organic farmers. ICAR-Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Ernakulam, of the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute has launched organic fertiliser, ‘Fishlizer’, produced through microbial degradation of marine fish waste.
The odourless decomposed fish waste is embedded in coir pith and contains all essential nutrients for plant growth, says a press release here. Amino acids present in ‘Fishlizer’ will enhance flowering and fruit setting in plants, favouring enhanced production. The product has been launched as part of Swachh Bharat Abhiyan of Krishi Vigyan Kendra on an appeal from the Prime Minister to produce organic manures from different kinds of waste to promote organic farming, the press release adds.
