Processing organic fertilizer into granules offers multiple advantages. Combined with production technologies and application cases, the core benefits can be summarized as follows:

I. Optimized Physical Properties: Enhancing Usability and Environmental Friendliness

1. Facilitating Mechanized Operations
   Granular organic fertilizer, with its regular shape, is suitable for precise distribution via mechanical equipment such as seeders and spreaders, significantly improving fertilization efficiency and reducing labor costs. This is particularly important for large-scale farms or plantation bases.

2. Reducing Dust and Pollution
   Powdery organic fertilizer tends to generate dust during transportation and application, whereas granulation effectively minimizes dust dispersion, lowering environmental and health risks, and aligning with environmental protection requirements.

3. Improving Storage and Transportation
   The granular form reduces hygroscopicity and caking risks, extending the shelf life (typically up to 6-12 months) and minimizing losses during storage and transportation, facilitating long-distance transport and long-term storage.

II. Chemical and Fertility Enhancements: Achieving Balanced Nutrition and Controlled Release

1. Balanced Nutrient Distribution
   During the granulation process, inorganic components like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium can be uniformly mixed with organic matter, ensuring consistent nutrient content in each granule and avoiding localized nutrient excess or deficiency.

2. Significant Slow-Release Effect
   The granular structure slows down nutrient release, providing a sustained supply to crops, reducing volatilization and leaching. Trials show that the utilization rate of granular organic fertilizer is approximately 20%-30% higher than powdery forms, with fertilizer effects lasting 3-6 months.

3. Enhancing Soil Improvement Capacity
   Organic matter in granular organic fertilizer promotes soil microbial reproduction, improves soil structure, increases aeration and water retention, and enhances soil fertility over time, reducing reliance on chemical fertilizers.

III. Practical Application Benefits: Suitability for Diverse Scenarios and Economic Gains

1. Wide Range of Applications
   • Potted Plants and Garden Cultivation: Provides balanced nutrition for flowers, fruit trees, vegetables, etc., promoting root development, and enhancing yield and quality.
   • Agricultural Production: As base or top dressing, it significantly increases crop yields (e.g., strawberries, rice, corn) and quality while reducing agricultural non-point source pollution.
2. Economic Efficiency
   Although granulation increases production costs (by approximately 10%-15%), it enhances long-term agricultural productivity by improving fertilizer efficiency and crop yields. For instance, strawberry cultivation trials demonstrated a 15%-20% increase in fruit yield and a 1-2 degree rise in sugar content using granular organic fertilizer.

IV. Technical Support and Case Validation

1. Mature Production Process
   The production of granular organic fertilizer involves raw material treatment, fermentation, fine grinding, mixing, granulation, drying, cooling, screening, and packaging. Extrusion granulation equipment can convert livestock manure, agricultural waste, etc., into uniformly sized, durable granules.

2. Application Cases

   • Strawberry Cultivation Trials: In trials conducted in Tuoshan Township and Xiyang Township, Wafangdian City, the use of solid granular bio-organic fertilizer as base fertilizer significantly improved strawberry fruit yield and quality.
   • Potted Flower Trials: Granular organic fertilizer resulted in more vibrant blooms and thicker foliage in roses, orchids, and other flowers, gaining popularity among home gardeners.

Conclusion

Processing organic fertilizer into granules not only optimizes physical properties, enhancing usability and environmental friendliness, but also improves chemical properties and fertility effects through balanced nutrient supply and slow-release capabilities. Its wide applicability and significant economic benefits make granular organic fertilizer a preferred choice for sustainable modern agriculture.
