What are The Raw Materials for Making Biofertilizers

The raw material of making biofertilizer

Choosing the right raw material is the foundation of efficient biofertilizer production. The quality and composition of your inputs directly affect microbial activity, nutrient content, and fertilizer performance. Whether you plan to use cow dung, biogas slurry, or crop residues, understanding how each material works helps you produce consistent, high-value bio fertilizers. At YUSHUNXIN, we focus on designing complete bio fertilizer manufacturing systems based on your available materials, capacity, and budget.

What are the main raw materials for biofertilizer production?

Biofertilizer production mainly relies on organic waste and microbial strains. Common materials include animal manure (cow dung, poultry manure, pig manure), crop residues, biogas slurry, and food waste. These materials provide rich nutrients and organic matter that support microbial growth. In addition, you can also add mineral powders such as phosphate rock, potassium feldspar, and zeolite for enhance nutrient balance. YUSHUNXIN helps you design a complete biofertilizer manufacturing plan based on the raw materials available in your region.

What Microbial Strains Are Used in the production of biofertilizer ?

Adding microbial strains is the key step of bio fertilizer making. Common strains include Azotobacter and Rhizobium for nitrogen fixation, Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria (PSB) for phosphorus release, and Trichoderma for disease resistance. You can add them during composting, granulation, or after granulation.YUSHUNXIN can customize spray device for bio fertilizer production equipment for adding microbial agents. Such as in compost turners, in disc pelletizer, in drum coating machine.

How to Prepare and Pretreat Raw Material for making biofertilizers?

Before fermentation, fertilizer manufacturers should dewater, crush, mix, and adjust the raw materials to the right C/N ratio (25:1–30:1). At the same time, proper pretreatment ensures better aeration and microbial activity. A typical pretreatment system of bio fertilizer manufacturing includes:

  • SeparatorRemoves excess water from raw materials

  • Crusher – breaks large particles into fine materials for speed up fermentation.

  • Mixer – blends organic and mineral materials evenly.

  • Composting machinequickly makes high-quality compost from organic waste.

Can you make bio fertilizer from Mineral-Based materials?

Yes, minerals play a key role in improving nutrient content of bio fertilizer. For example, rock phosphate increases phosphorus levels, zeolite improves cation exchange capacity, and humic acid enhances soil structure. With YUSHUNXIN’s static batching machine, you can mix these additives during the blending stage.  The machine ensures ±0.5% accuracy in each batch.

How to Select Cost-Effective Raw Materials for Bio fertilizer Manufacturing plant?

You can choose raw material according to your local availability, which will save your biofertilizer manufacturing cost. Using nearby resources minimizes transportation costs and ensures steady supply. For example, farmers and factories can use livestock manure, straw, or food industry residues as low-cost raw materials. For areas near sugar mills or breweries, molasses waste and yeast sludge are sustainable choices for the production of bio fertilizer .
