Cost associated with practice

4 - Rather high costs

Details

the cost of raw materials is very cheap because it utilizes locally available potential (livestock manure, azolla, etc.). However, to procure a massive briquette printing machine, quite large funds are still needed.

Does it work in degraded environments?

4 - Works rather well in depleted environment

Details

organic raw materials from local potential also can restore of land and soil condition

Does it help restore land?

4 - Rather effective

Details

Applying conventional fertilizer (powder) to flooded land is not effective and becomes a problem because the fertilizer will be washed away or lost. By adding organic material to briquette fertilizer, you can certainly restore the soil's capacity to become a growing medium for plants.
