Dear Mr. Kasturiraju,

Cow dung contains billions of micro organism / bacteria useful for agriculture. Cow dung slurry from bio-gas plants will lack these, as methane gas from bio-gas plant kills these organism. You have to regenerate them.

I understand that you have excess production of slurry. Perhaps you give the excess slurry free of cost to anyone who bears the transportation cost to his land.

Regards.

Its a wonderful product

Characteristics of digested bio-slurry
1. Being fully fermented, bio-slurry is odorless and does not attract flies.
2. Bio-slurry repels termites and pests that are attracted to raw dung.
3. Bio-slurry reduces weed growth. Application of bio-slurry has proved to reduce weed growth by up to 50%.
4. Bio-slurry is an excellent soil conditioner, adds humus, and enhances the soil’s capacity to retain water.
5. Bio-slurry is pathogen-free. The fermentation of dung in the reactor kills organisms causing plant disease.

Advantages:

1. Less Labor intensive.
2. Spraying bio-slurry (with or without a little addition of pesticide) can effectively control red spiders and aphids attacking vegetables, wheat and cotton. The effect of bio-slurry with 15- 20% pesticide in pest-control is proven to produce the same results as using pure pesticides.
3. Dressing of barley seeds with bio-slurry is an extremely effective way to control the barley yellow mosaic virus, which is one of the most destructive diseases in barley growing areas.
4. Dried digested slurry has great potential to be used as feed supplement for cattle, pigs, poultry, and fish.
