The main goals of this project are to make Trichoderma infect tea waste, and to mix Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus licheniformis with the Bokashi compost method and also add zeolite powder to make granular organic fertilizers. On the other hand, this project researches different raw material ratio formulas in tea residue with beneficial bacteria to make the best efficient granular organic fertilizers.

In this project, tea waste has been pointed as a carrier of Trichoderma. The purpose of adding beneficial bacteria is to increase the beneficial bacteria which decompose the beneficial substances in the soil. In addition, Trichoderma can decompose the broken branches of the tea trees in the soil, and the decomposed components can be reused by the tea trees to achieve the recycling of resources.

This project produce fertilizers with Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, Bacillus subtilis, and Bacillus licheniformis. It is planned to carry out field trials in tea gardens and study the feasibility of those product adding Trichoderma for small batch production. The goal is to replace chemical ferterlizer, reducing environmental damage, and be more effective than traditional organic fertilizers. The cost is only increased by 15 NT dollars per package.
