Compost Fungus Activator (CFA) Natural All-Purpose Foliar Fertilizer & Molasses

#agriculture #farming #farmer #farmlife To rapidly multiply beneficial soil microbes and restore the topsoil's biological ecosystem (up to 12 inches deep) within 10 to 15 days, you can use a combination of Compost Fungus Activator (CFA), a Natural All-Purpose Foliar Fertilizer, and molasses. The Fast-Action Microbial Mixture When toxic molluscicides kill earthworms and beneficial microbes, the biological cycle breaks down. To rapidly rebuild it, combine these elements: Compost Fungus Activator (CFA): Products like Trichoderma harzianum break down toxic debris and create a healthy environment for returning worms and bacteria. Alternatively, a farm-grade Indigenous Microorganisms (IMO) "mother culture" can be used. Natural All-Purpose Foliar Fertilizer: Use Fermented Plant Juice (FPJ) or commercially available organic foliar/soil inoculants rich in nitrogen and trace minerals. Molasses (Blackstrap): This is the critical carbon and sugar source that serves as instant energy to multiply the microbe population quickly. Step-by-Step 15-Day Soil Rehabilitation & Multiplication 1. Prepare the Solution: Mix 50-100 grams of Compost Fungus Activator (e.g., Trichoderma) or 2 tablespoons of IMO per liter of clean, non-chlorinated water. Add 1-2 tablespoons of agricultural-grade molasses per liter of water. This creates an ideal microbial growth medium. 2. Soil & Straw Application (Day 1 - Land Preparation): Incorporate organic matter like rice straw into the field. Thoroughly spray or broadcast the CFA + Molasses mixture into the upper layer of the soil. This inoculates the ground and speeds up the degradation of toxins and leftover crop residues. 3. Foliar Feeding (Day 10 - 15): Once the seedlings have been transplanted, apply an organic liquid foliar fertilizer mixed with molasses at a rate of 2 tablespoons per liter of water. Timing: Spray your rice field early in the morning (4:00 AM - 6:00 AM) or late in the afternoon (5:00 PM) when the sunlight is not harsh [1.1.10, 1.2.1). Natural Alternative for Snail Control Since synthetic molluscicides heavily degrade the soil and kill beneficial microorganisms, consider natural pest management. Farmers in the Philippines often use Panyawan (Makabuhay) vine extracts mixed with molasses to safely deter snails without harming your new microbe and worm populations.
