It's important to apply chicken manure in a scientific and reasonable manner. When used as a top dressing, it can typically be watered in directly. A recommended amount is about 200 to 300 kilograms per mu per application. To make the process more efficient, you can build a small concrete pool at the entrance of the greenhouse, with a small opening at the bottom. When applying the manure, simply pour it into the pool, and it will be flushed out through the small opening, flowing into the vegetable beds. This method ensures even distribution and reduces waste. It's best to apply the manure in the morning when temperatures are cooler and evaporation is less likely.
Before using chicken manure, it must be fully decomposed to avoid burning plants or introducing harmful pathogens. One effective way is to dig a large pit outside the shed, mix the manure with straw or other organic materials, and cover it with plastic film. After 20 to 30 days, the manure should be fully broken down. Alternatively, you can use biological decomposition agents like Radiator Antibiotic 968, which accelerates the process and improves the quality of the compost. This not only makes the manure safer but also enhances its nutrient availability for plants.
It’s also important to combine chicken manure with other fertilizers. While it’s rich in organic matter and has good fertilizer efficiency, it tends to be lower in nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Therefore, you should supplement it with potash fertilizer, especially during the fruiting stage of crops like eggplants. For optimal results, mix 8 to 10 kilograms of potassium fertilizer with the chicken manure per mu. This helps ensure balanced nutrition and promotes better growth, higher yields, and improved fruit quality. Always monitor your plants and adjust the application based on their needs and soil conditions.
