METHOD OF MANUFACTURING BIOHUMUS-BASED BACTERIAL FERTILIZER Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC C05F11/08 C05G3/04 C12N1/20 

FIELD: organic fertilizers.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to agricultural biotechnology and provides a method comprising vermicomposting of organic wastes using hybrid of red California worm with earth worms of Kuban natural population in amount 10⁴ worms per 1 m², said organic wastes being farm animal manure preliminarily neutralized to pH 7-8. Vermicomposting is carried out over a 2-3 month period at 16-32°C under normal conditions. After separation of worms from biohumus by means of shaking sieve with pore size 0.5-1.0 cm, biohumus is partially dried to moisture content 50-60%, and packaged into polypropylene bags. Thereafter, molasses in amounts of 1.0-3.0% of the weight of biohumus is introduced, bags are autoclaved for 45-75 min at pressure 0.8-1.2 atm, and strain Bacillus megaterium var. phosphaticum 319 is added.

EFFECT: increased assortment of microbiological fertilizers, enhanced their biological activity, reduced manufacture expenses, and accelerated manufacturing procedure.
