Construção de unidade portátil para produção de biofertilizante de maneira aeróbica.

Abstract

In Brazil, improper disposal and accumulation of waste is growing more and more, causing contamination and pollution mainly of the soil, bringing serious environmental problems. Currently, agricultural research companies have been sharing appropriate composting practices and units that facilitate the production of biofertilizer, in a simple and effective way, providing soil enrichment and plant growth. With the objective of also providing a means that is capable of guaranteeing the quality of the aerobic biofertilizer, easy to make and spending little, this work will have as objective the construction of a portable unit for the production of biofertilizer in an aerobic way, destined for composting organic waste. The study addresses the construction of a portable aerobic biofertilizer production unit, using accessible and recyclable materials. The 20liter polypropylene bucket was chosen as the base structure, effective for accommodating the sets. However, challenges arose in oxygenating the liquid after the introduction of the circulation system in the unit, requiring adjustments to ensure effectiveness. The research highlighted the efficiency of aerobic composting in the production of nutrient rich biofertilizers, pointing out the importance of composting, offering a viable alternative for farmers, promoting more sustainable agricultural practices.
