Fine Compost: High Quality Organic Fertilizer

Continuous use of chemical fertilizer without any application of organic fertilizer is proven to cause damage on soil's physical, biological and chemical composition. To solve this problem along with enhancing land productivity as a plant medium, soil preservation (restoration) is a necessity.

Stable supply of organic fertilizer both on quantity and quality consistency is an exacting challenge. Lembah Hijau Multifarm Research Station has succeeded to innovate organic waste management system (farming). This organic waste is transformed into high quality organic fertilizer, which is called "Fine Compost".

Green Valley Fine Compost is processed with decomposition method using Stardec starter microbe, which is tested since 1981 through its application on plantation, horticulture and nursery.

Fine Compost production system make uses of Stardec starter microbe and has been recomended by the Ministry of Agriculture of Indonesia, certified by BINUS and patented under the law of the Departemen Kehakiman dan HAM Republic of Indonesia.
