Title:

Compost Booster for Cold Region

Value Proposition:

The Compost Booster developed by CSIR-Institute of Himalayan Bioresource Technology is designed as an efficient and hygienic microbial formulation, specifically tailored for the automated stabilization of organic waste into nutrient-rich fertilizer in cold regions. Its high effectiveness is attributed to the presence of indigenous cold-tolerant hydrolytic bacteria for enhancing decomposition, the formulation can efficiently convert kitchen waste and human waste into stable, safe compost, thereby supporting sustainable waste management and improved soil health.

Summary Application:

The compost booster can be applied to a range of waste substrates such as kitchen waste, human/animal waste and agro residues to convert them into high quality compost.

Advantages:
  • Ready to use formulation
  • Contains cold tolerant hydrolytic bacteria
  • Supplemented with biofertilizer
  • Bacteria encapsulated with effective carrier material
  • Enhanced nitrogen fixing, phosphate solubilisation and potash mobilization properties
  • Reduced foul odour during composting process
  • Suitable for organic cultivation
  • The Compost Booster developed by CSIR-IHBT efficiently converts kitchen and human waste into safe, nutrient-rich compost, promoting sustainable waste management and improved soil health.
