Solar-Powered, Cost-Effective, and Ecologically Smart BioFertilizer for Thriving Crops and Sustainable Agriculture
ABC Grower is a biotechnology that consists of extracting the nutrients contained in weeds using positive microorganisms (EM). The extracted elements are then dosed and the weeds are characterized according to their mineral contribution to fertilization. The extracted minerals are concentrated and formulated according to the needs of the crops and adapted to tropical soils. The system includes an EM electrical atomization module that is powered by a 12V DC solar panel. The accumulator is connected to a photovoltaic plate. The formulation ability of ABC ABC Grower is an innovative biotechnology developed as a cost-effective fertilizer solution. It utilizes positive microorganisms (EM) to extract essential nutrients from weeds efficiently. These nutrients are then concentrated and carefully formulated to cater to the specific needs of crops, particularly adapted to tropical soils. Powered by solar energy, ABC Grower significantly reduces organic fertilizer production time and costs, providing a sustainable and economically viable alternative for farmers in West Africa.
