Can lotus seed shells be used as fertilizer?

Lotus seed shell fertilizer contains rich nutrients suitable for the growth of edible fungi, so there are also a large number of people who purchase lotus seed shell fertilizer and use it for fermentation to make mushroom sticks.

Lotus seed shells can be used as fertilizer, but because lotus seed shells are relatively hard and have a low utilization rate, most lotus farmers will burn them in rice fields as fertilizer. Lotus seed shells are rich in cellulose, and after proper crushing, they can make flowers grow better.

Lotus seed shell fertilizer production

When making fertilizer from lotus seed shells, you only need to burn, ferment, or compost the lotus seeds. When burning to make fertilizer, you only need to dry them first. After burning, you can pour the ashes directly into the ground.

As for fermentation, it is recommended to compost the lotus seed shells in the summer before they are dried, and then use some microbial plant health conditioning liquid as a fermentation agent, which can form fertilizer within 2 weeks.

Lotus seed shell fertilizer use

1. Inhibit bacteria

When the prepared lotus seed shell fertilizer is poured on the flowers and the temperature reaches 60 degrees, it can inhibit the decomposition of microorganisms and the activity of fiber bacteria. When the temperature exceeds 70 degrees Celsius, the activities of various microorganisms and bacteria will stop.

2. Provide nutrition

Spraying the prepared lotus seed shell fertilizer directly on flowers can make the leaves of flowers more shiny and glossy, and can also accelerate the growth of flowers.
