Frequently Asked Questions

During our interactions with farmers on various occasions, we received several questions regarding Selco fertilizers. To help address these queries, we have compiled this FAQ section covering topics such as product quality standards, ingredients, usage guidelines, customer support, and more. Please take a moment to read through the complete FAQ for detailed information and better understanding.

Selco Carbon Gold is a ready-to-use organic fertilizer made from naturally processed animal waste, plant residues, vegetable waste, and other organic materials. It helps restore soil health affected by prolonged use of chemical fertilizers and enriches the soil with essential macronutrients such as Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Potassium (K), supporting healthy and sustainable crop growth.
Both products offer similar nutritional value; however, Selco Soil Gold is made from animal waste, plant residues, vegetable waste, and natural microorganisms through prolonged fermentation, while vermicompost is produced using earthworms. Selco Soil Gold provides higher organic carbon availability, improves soil health, and supports cleaner crop growth
Yes, Selco Carbon Gold is an Organic Fertilizer. It is the only organic fertilizer that has high availability in Carbon and available in the market at low cost.
Soil Organic carbon percentage is an indicator of soil fertility. This can be known with a soil test. It improves soil aeration (oxygen in the soil), water drainage, and retention, reduces the risk of erosion and nutrient leaching. Increases the number of microorganisms and provides nutrients to the plant.
Yes. Unlike many FYM and chicken manures that may be partially decomposed, Selco Carbon Gold is a well-processed, nutrient-rich organic manure manufactured to high quality standards. Its concentrated nutrient content helps reduce application quantities while supporting healthy soil and crop growth.
Yes, it can be used effectively. Selco Carbon Gold is manufactured to high quality standards and complies with FCO requirements. With its nutrient-rich composition, lower application quantities may be sufficient compared to conventional FYM applications.
No. Selco manure undergoes an extended decomposition process, helping break down organic matter thoroughly. This process supports the reduction of viable weed seeds and contributes to improved organic carbon content, helping promote cleaner and healthier crop growth.
For food crops and commercial crops, one tonne per acre should be applied in the final plough. 10 Kgs per plant for Fruit Trees. It is enough to apply half a ton (1/2 tonne) per acre along with mulching for green vegetables. It can also be mixed with chemical fertilizers.

Selco Carbon Gold is a naturally processed organic fertilizer designed to support soil health and improve soil stability. When used as recommended, it helps enrich organic matter, enhance soil fertility, and promote healthy crop growth.
Selco Fertilizers are manufactured in accordance with FCO (Fertilizer Control Order, 1985) standards and produced to deliver high quality and consistent nutritional value.
Selco Soil Gold is manufactured in accordance with FCO (Fertilizer Control Order, 1985) quality standards. As per FCO guidelines, organic fertilizers should maintain a moisture content of 15–25%, and Selco Soil Gold contains approximately 23% moisture.
Yes, but We should maintain a minimum gap of 30 days between Selco Fertilizers and Chemical Fertilizers usage.
As far as manure is concerned, pH is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of the manure. A pH range of 6.5–7.5 is optimal for plant growth when nutrient availability is optimal. It contributes to the survival and growth of soil microorganisms thereby increasing the carbon content of the soil.
Electrical conductivity (EC) is a measure of the amount of salts (salinity) in organic manure. It indicates the availability of nutrients and available water capacity for the plant.
Years of intensive chemical fertilizer use can impact soil quality and reduce organic matter over time. A balanced approach that gradually increases the use of organic fertilizers alongside responsible nutrient management can help improve soil health and long-term productivity. As highlighted by our Honorable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, encouraging greater adoption of organic and sustainable farming practices can support healthier soils and contribute to producing safer food for future generations.
Selco Fertilizers are organic fertilizers, not a substitute for chemical fertilizers. Combined use with chemical fertilizers gives better results and can reduce cost significantly.
Proper organic fertilizer never smells bad and is dark brown in color. Moisture content should not exceed 25%.
Selco Carbon Gold / Soil Gold is an organic fertilizer designed for soil application and incorporation into the root zone. It is not intended for foliar application or spraying directly onto plant leaves
Selco Fertilizer is produced from naturally processed animal waste, plant residues, vegetable waste, and other organic materials through a controlled fermentation process. It is designed to support natural soil enrichment without the intentional addition of chemical residues.
