Parit Malintang, (Antaranews Sumbar) - The Government of Padang Pariaman District, West Sumatra focuses on organic fertilizer used for a number of agricultural commodities in the area due to chemical fertilizers used which can damage the soil content and affect the production.
"We already have a number of organic fertilizer processing units to achieve it," Head of Agriculture and Food Security of Padang Pariaman, Yurisman Jacob stated here on Tuesday.
He said with the use of organic fertilizer or manure, it will not damage the soil content because the fertilizer is also derived from nature.
Besides, although the availability of organic fertilizer is slower than chemical fertilizers but the content of manure can last longer on the ground than in chemical fertilizers.
He remarked there are 20 units of organic fertilizer processing in Padang Pariaman up to now that can produce about one ton of fertilizer per week.
The processing unit is managed by a farmer group whose results are not only used for agriculture but also sold to other farmers.
The agricultural groups are located in several sub-districts including Nan Sabaris, Batang Anai, 2x11 Kayu Tanam, Sungai Geringging and Sungai Limau. (cha)
