Corn steep liquor powder: High quality organic fertilizer raw materials

1: What is Corn steep liquor powder?

Corn steep liquor is the main byproduct of corn wet milling process. In order to reduce transportation costs and facilitate use, our company produces corn steep liquor powder through drying and other processes. corn steep liquor powder contains NPK 7-7-7, 35% amino acids, 43% protein, as well as various vitamins, minerals, and other bioactive molecules. OMRI listed, Ecocert approved;; Corn steep liquor can be used as an organic fertilizer to promote plant growth; It can also be used as a biostimulant, as Corn steep liquor contains various bioactive molecules such as natural cell division; And the price is only 1/5 of amino acid powder (14-0-0).

2: Corn steep liquor can be used as an organic fertilizer raw material

Plant residues contain extremely high levels of lignocellulose, which often leads to problems such as long composting time, low fermentation temperature, and incomplete decomposition of raw materials; Adding corn steep powder to compost can promote microbial activity, thereby increasing composting efficiency and nitrogen retention rate, promoting the formation of macromolecular humus, and improving the quality of compost products; Commercial compost processed by CSL powder not only has a positive impact on nitrogen supply to crops such as grapes, but also increases humus content.

Meanwhile, Corn steep liquor can also be used as a raw material for fermented fertilizers. For example, in the process of decomposing by-products such as fish scales to produce fish emulsions, adding CSL powder can promote the growth and reproduction of Aspergillus niger, thereby accelerating the decomposition of fish scales and recovering dissolved proteins from fish scales to produce organic fertilizers;

3: Corn steep liquor can promote crop germination and growth

Corn steep solids has a good effect in promoting the growth of most plants and increasing germination rates. For example, applying corn steep solids during tomato cultivation results in higher leaf area and photosynthetic activity of the plant; Chili peppers grow well in saline alkali and nitrogen deficient environments after applying corn steep powder; Soybean seeds treated with corn steep powder can improve germination rate and promote growth.

 Taking soybeans as an example: After 36 hours, the germination rate of soybean seeds treated with 1% corn steep powder in the experimental group was 69%; The control group is 35%. After 84 hours, the germination rate of soybean seeds treated with 1% corn steep powder in the experimental group was 95%; The control group was 83%. Research has shown that soybean plants treated with 1% corn steep powder have significantly higher expression levels of some nutrient absorption and transport related genes in their roots compared to control plants. These results indicate that corn steep powder can improve the growth rate of soybean plants and other crops, making it a cost-effective biological promoter and organic fertilizer.

In addition, the application of corn steep solids can also increase the pH value of the soil, increase effective soil nutrients, thereby accelerating the absorption and utilization of nutrients by crops, promoting crop growth, and early flowering.
