Guano (from the Quechua ‘wanu’, via Spanish) is the excrement (feces and urine) of seabirds, bats, and seals.[1] Guano manure is an effective fertilizer and gunpowder ingredient due to its high levels of phosphorus and nitrogen and also its lack of odor. Superphosphate made from guano is used for aerial topdressing. Soil that is deficient in organic matter can be made more productive by addition of this manure.
Back on today again…. Nice breakthrough today. I live right next to a giant cave in Northern Thailand. Of course this cave is full of bats. The more research I read about Bat dung the better. The local village people brought me over 10 full bags of it today! I placed this excrement onto some of my composting piles and will also use for worm composting! bats eat insects and produce excellent organic fertilizer in the process! The more organic fertilizer / compost I can prepare now the better!
Bat guano can be safely used as a fertilizer, both indoors and outdoors, and will benefit all growth of all plants.
Its primary ingredients are roughly 10% nitrogen(plants’ healthy green color and their rapid growth), 3% phosphorous(promotes root growth and flowering), and 1% potassium(strong stems). Slow release fertilizers that continues to work for the soil and plant.
Rich in bioremediation microbes, which clean up toxic substances.
When used as a foliar spray will help combat fungus.
Cycle of bat dung(guano) is:
1. bat eats insects
2. bats deposit dung on cave floor
3. ate again by beetles and microbes
4. results are a natural fertilizer
Different ways guano can be used are:
1. improves the richness and texture of soil
2. the bioremediation microbes clean up toxic spills on the soil
3. with a NPK of 10-3-1 it is a suitable fertilizer
4. placed on the lawn will bring about excellent growth and healthy appearance.
5. foliar feeding kills fungus
6. controls harmful nematodes in the soil.
7. excellent compost pile activator.
