Most farmers prepare the solution in a plastic drum or concrete tank:
- Add 150–170 liters of water.
- Mix in 10 kg fresh cow dung.
- Add cow urine and stir thoroughly.
- Dissolve jaggery and pulse flour.
- Add topsoil to introduce native microbes.
- Stir vigorously.
- Allow to ferment 5–7 days, stirring twice daily.
The mixture develops a sweet, fermented aroma — a sign of strong microbial growth.
How Much Land Does It Cover?
One 200-liter batch can treat 1–2 acres depending on soil quality and crop type.
- New-to-ZBNF soils → farmers use a slightly higher quantity
- Mature ZBNF soils → require less frequent use
This is what makes the system extremely low-cost and scalable.
