    FERTILIZERS FROM BIRD DROPPINGS NOT SUFFICIENT TO MEET LOCAL DEMAND IN ARMENIA

    YEREVAN, September 4. /ARKA/. Production of fertilizers from bird
    droppings is effective, but not able to meet the local demand,
    Armenia's deputy minister of agriculture Garnik Petrosyan said.

    A group of scientists from agriculture motorization research
    institute headed by Stepan Khoetsyan developed a technology of
    producing granulated organic and organic-mineral fertilizers based
    on bird droppings.

    According to Khoetsyan, production of fertilizers from bird droppings
    will allow to substantially (by 50-60%) solve the problem of fertilizer
    deficit in Armenia.

    This sort of fertilizers is very efficient, yet not sufficient,
    Petrosyan said. The studies showed that only some 12,000 tons of
    fertilizers could be produced from about 1 million birds at local
    poultry factories, and this will be sufficient for cultivating only
    some 4,000 hectares of a total of 370,000 hectares cultivated in
    Armenia, Petrosyan told a press conference.

    He also said today most poultry factories use bird droppings for
    their own purposes, and there is no dropping collection mechanism at
    this stage.

    On October 21, 2011, Armenian government made a decision
    to develop bio-fertilizer market and started importing
    about 25-30,000 nitrogen fertilizers every year, mainly
    from Georgia, Iran and Russia.-0-- - See more at:
