Fermented Organic Manure (FOM)

Turning Waste into Wealth for Sustainable Agriculture

At Shri Balaji Sugars & Chemicals Pvt. Ltd., sustainability goes beyond clean energy — it extends to the soil. Our Fermented Organic Manure (FOM) is a nutrient-rich byproduct derived from spent wash generated during ethanol production. Instead of allowing this waste to go unused, we convert it into eco-friendly organic fertilizer, ideal for agricultural applications.

This initiative reflects our commitment to environmental responsibility and rural empowerment by providing farmers with a natural, chemical-free alternative to synthetic fertilizers.

What is FOM?

FOM is created by treating and stabilizing the nutrient-rich liquid waste (spent wash) from the distillery through biological fermentation and composting. The resulting product is a high-quality, soil-enriching manure.

🌿 Key Features:

  • Organic alternative to chemical fertilizers

  • Improves soil structure and fertility

  • Enhances microbial activity in soil

  • Reduces the need for synthetic inputs

  • Environmentally safe and farmer-friendly

Benefits of Using FOM

FOM offers several agronomic and environmental benefits:

  • 🌱 Boosts Crop Yield: Improves nutrient availability and absorption

  • ♻️ Eco-Friendly: Recycles industrial waste into useful agri-input

  • 🌾 Restores Soil Health: Increases organic carbon and moisture retention

  • 💧 Reduces Water Usage: Improves soil’s water-holding capacity

  • 🧪 Safe & Compliant: Free from toxic chemicals and heavy metals

Applications

FOM is suitable for use in:

  • Agricultural fields (rice, wheat, sugarcane, pulses)

  • Horticultural crops (fruits and vegetables)

  • Organic farming

  • Soil reclamation and land improvement programs

Empowering Local Farming Communities

By distributing FOM to nearby farming communities, Balaji Sugars supports:

  • Sustainable farming practices

  • Reduced cultivation costs

  • Increased farmer income

  • Better soil conservation and eco-balance

We work closely with farmers to promote adoption through awareness drives and demo plots.
