RESICYTE

MODE OF ACTION

• When applied crop residue decomposer to post-harvest waste, RESICYTE stubble digester makes an active soil Microbiome that produces special enzymes to initiate fast enzymatic breakdown of the plant biomass. The process facilitates the efficient use of plant residues for microbial biodegradation under aerobic conditions, maximum cellulose decomposition, hemicelluloses and lignin – which are structural components of the hard tissues of the crop.
• The formulation consists of highly efficient microorganisms for cellulose degradation and the beneficial microbes of lignocellulolytic microbes type which enhances degradation of plant residues and complete faster staw breakdown. Accelerated slow straw breakdown allows for the release of nutrients that are stored in the waste, back to the growing media, by increased nutrient recycling and carbon cycling in soil.
• Stover immediately start to decompose once they get in contact with the soil surface. In the first stage, compounds that are easily degraded like sugars, amino acids, and proteins are quickly broken down by the activities of microbes.
• Bacillus spp. are gradually dominant during decomposition, requiring extracellular enzymes that are able to do an aggressive breakdown of cellulose. This stage greatly increases rhizosphere microbial activity, facilitates faster organic matter turnover, and encourages positive microbiome growth.
• As the disease develops the fungus species Trichoderma spp. take over dominance. These fungi are adapted for lignin degradation; thereby, converting (or remineralizing) the whole straw into the soil organic carbon cycle.
• As the process of breakdown progresses to the end of its cycle, stover transform into humus, this biological process helps in better nutrient availability, better microbiome activity, and sustainable residue management, soil productivity, while minimizing the reliance on synthetic fertilizers.

How Much Nutrient Can Be Recycled from Crop Residues?

The efficiency of crop residue recycling the nutrients is dependent on the crop type, the volume of biomass and its decomposition efficiency. Managing field residues usefully and adopting the appropriate use of a biological stubble digester can help to bring very significant nutrients back into the earth.

• Nutrient Recycling Potential
• 20-40% of nutrients can leach out in the first season of cropping
• Continued breakdown and humus formation gradually release remaining nutrients.
• The most important nutrient that is typically recycled from residues is potassium.
• The microbial nitrogen fixation accounted for the additional nitrogen contribution from legume residues.
• Once nutrients have to be unearthed from cell walls, they have to be available for uptake in an efficient way, which requires effective degradation of the cell wall of lignocellulose.

Faster decomposition supports:

• Improved nutrient release
• Better microbial diversity
• Improved soil fertility
• Enhanced seedbed preparation

Agricultural yields under regenerative agriculture are not detrimental to the environment. Non-environmentally-destructive crop productivity under regenerative agriculture practices.

Using the latest technology in biological science, RESICYTE is designed to be a better crop residue decomposer as well as a sustainable stubble digester that assists growers to optimise soil fertility through long-term use of crop residue and boost overall farm sustainability.

INSTRUCTION

Dosage & Method

• Applicable for no-till farming, minimum tillage systems
• Dot-fit with 1-2 kgs/acre through the sprayers, irrigation pivots, or injection system option.
• The temperature for carrying out the reaction is optimally 20-30 °C.
• The volume of paint carrier – 50-100 liters per hectare – should be adequate to cover the stubble completely.

How to improve nutrient cycling from crop residue?

Successful nutrient recycling requires adequate soil/environmental conditions for good rates of microbial growth and stubble digeste.

Residue Incorporation: Field residues are decomposed more rapidly if turned into the earth than when on top of the ground. The use of incorporation helps promote good contact and microbial degradation of the staw.

Nitrogen Supplementation: The higher the C: N ratio, the more likely it is that there will be an excessive build-up of nutrients locked up in the stalks. This can be mitigated by the addition of nitrogen sources. Applying:10% v/v of 28% UAN solution, or Every 378 liters of water contains a maximum of 10-20 kg of ammonium sulfate. It can have an appreciable effect on residue mineralization and the activity of microorganisms.

Moisture Management: RESICYTE stubble digester require an adequate amount of moisture for survival and decomposition. Microbiome activity is often the limiting factor for the slow rate of breakdown of straw in dry conditions. Moisture in the growing media plays a role in the subsequent mineralization of crop waste and efficiency of the breakdown process.

Temperature Influence: Under warmer conditions its will be more efficient because of the microbes. However, decomposition could be dampened by high temperatures and drought. Several factors are important in controlling the rhizosphere microbial activity, including moisture and temperature.

Soil pH: Most of the beneficial decomposers like slightly acidic to neutral soil. Applying extremes of pH to correct conditions can aid in establishing and promoting decomposition.

Residue Type: The residues containing a high percentage of C, like cereal straw, will decompose slowly unless enough N is present. Organic matter mineralization and use of the waste are improved by supplemental nitrogen.

Consequences of Not Treating Field Residues

The non-biological field stubble management can present several agronomic and environmental issues:

• Nutrients are not released into the detritus pool because it is not mineralized.
• Minor loss of nutrients recycling.
• Rise in the number of diseases carried.
• Severe nutrient lock-up.
• Insufficient aeration and poorer soil properties.
• Delayed planting due to a surplus of stubble.
• Characterized by an increase in the soil seed bank.
• Populations of pests are higher from one season to another.
• Among the significant key benefits, there was a decrease in soil microbial activity.
• Decreased breakdown of organic matter (slow turnover).
• Lower productivity with minimum tillage systems.
