Guangdong: Flowers When Fertilizer Looks Good and Saves Money
In addition to being admired for their beauty, flowers have a practical use that many people may not be aware of. In Huizhou, Guangdong, local farmers have discovered a unique way to make use of these blossoms: turning them into fertilizer. As reported by Zeng Yang, a reporter from Taiwan in Huizhou, most people see the vibrant, swaying red flowers as nothing more than ornamental plants. However, for the villagers, these beautiful blooms are actually a new kind of organic fertilizer. "My feet walking on this field will also become fertile because of it," said one local villager, Zhou Bo. He used to work with green manure, a traditional practice that has now been revived with the help of chrysanthemums.
When the flowers are still in bloom, this concept might sound unusual. But in fact, the practice of using green plants as fertilizer dates back to the Tang and Song dynasties. Green manure involves growing specific plants to enrich the soil naturally. Chrysanthemums, for example, can increase the nitrogen content in the soil, which is essential for plant growth. According to calculations, planting one mu (approximately 0.067 hectares) of chrysanthemums can save over 400 yuan worth of chemical fertilizers per mu. Lai Weihong, the head of the Soil and Fertilizer Station in Huiyang District, explains that an acre of chrysanthemums can produce about 50 kilograms of nitrogen fertilizer, which is enough to support one crop of rice or other crops.
Beyond its role as fertilizer, the chrysanthemum has another valuable use. Its stems and leaves can be used as animal feed. Agricultural technicians have calculated that one acre of chrysanthemums can support raising up to four cows or three pigs, making it a highly efficient and sustainable agricultural practice. This dual-purpose approach not only benefits the soil but also helps farmers reduce costs and improve productivity. It’s a perfect example of how nature can provide multiple solutions when we learn to work with it rather than against it.
