INTRODUCTION
Agriculture crops need nutrients in there correct proportions in order
to grow healthy.
The most important of these are nitrates, phosphates and potasium
(NPK)
Also, some cations and anions are required in small quantities
(Cu,I,Fe).
Most Farmers use chemical fertilizers such as ammonium sulphate and
ammonium phosphate to improve the fertility of soils.

INTRODUCTION
CONTINUED
However, usage of chemical fertilizers alters the pH of the soil hence
there is the need to use environmentally friendly fertilizer to enrich soilfertility.
In this study we are going to consider agriculture fertilizer
manufactured from poultry ash which can easily be transformed into
humus.
Poultry ash includes faecal matter from rared birds and other wastes.

PROBLEM STATEMENT
Use of artificial fertilizer ammonium sulphate and ammonium
phosphate ( ( NH)SO and (NH)PO ) for soil fertility byfarmers pose a danger to the soil mineral content.
It can also bring about acidity to the soil whereas nitrates and
phosphates from chemical fertilizers when released to natural water
bodies can cause eutrophication.

AIM
To manufacture agriculture fertilizer using poultry ash as a more
environmentally friendly soil nutrient additive for farmers.

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
To understand how the nutrition value of the soil can be improved
by applying agriculture fertilizer from poultry ash.
To prevent complete drying and caking of the ash, the temperature
should be maintained between 323 K and 328 K for the first few days
and it should be mixed or turned on regular schedule.

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
To optimize nutrient supply to the soil the size of the poultry ash
should be reduced to almost powder form for easy conversion tohumus and aeration to oxygen.

HYPOTHESIS
The use of poultry ash to manufacture fertilizer can improve soil
fertility with less harm on soil acidity.

PROBLEM JUSTIFICATION
With a lot of farmers in Zambia practicing poultry farming,
nutrient rich poultry ash availability has increased hence the need forits positive use to enrich the fertility of the soil.

METHODOLOGY
Poultry ash would be collected weighing about two hundred grams
from a poultry in riverside were chickens which are ready for resale have
been removed.
Receiving,sorting,separation,size reduction will be done on site
The next step is the drying of the poultry ash in the open air
The last step would be product preparation and marketing. This step
may include fine grinding,bagging,storage,transportion and in some cases
direct market.

METHODOLOGY
At this stage the ash will be ready for use that is it is spread in
vegetable beds watered together as fertilizer and the growth ismonitored to observe the change in the health of the vegetables.
