Application Protocol for pH Stabilization Using Fermented Wheat Flour (FWF)

Area Coverage:

Application Area: 

• 1,000 square meters with maximum depth of 1 meter.

Ingredients and Quantities:

• Wheat Flour: 3 kg (3 ppm)
• Engest™:    30 grams (10 grams per 1 kg of wheat flour)
• NaHCO3:      300 gram (10% based on the total weight of wheat flour)
• Water:           12 liters

Preparation:

Mixing:

• Combine 3 kg of wheat flour with 30 grams of Engest™ in a fermentation tank.
• Add 12 liters of water to the mixture.
• Add 300 grams of NaHCO3 to the fermenting tank.
• Ensure the tank is at least three times larger than the volume of the solution to allow for proper fermentation.

Fermentation:

• Ferment the mixture for at least 12 hours.
• Stir the mixture occasionally to ensure even fermentation.

Application:

Broadcasting:

• After fermentation, broadcast the Fermented Wheat Flour (FWF) solution throughout the pond while aeration is on.

Daily Application:

• Apply the FWF solution daily until the pH is stabilized.

Reapplication:

• If pH fluctuations persist, repeat the same application the next day or until the running mortality is reduced.

Monitoring:

• Ensure the pond's dissolved oxygen (D.O) levels are above 5-6 ppm at all times.
• Monitor the pond's turbidity levels. Once the turbidity reaches 30 cm or less, stop applying FWF and maintain turbidity at 30 cm throughout the cycle.

Alkalinity:

• Maintain alkalinity above 180 ppm.

Mineral Check:

• Check for mineral levels (e.g., Ca+, Mg+, K+) and conduct vibrio plate counts before and after application to assess the pond's health and water quality.

Summary:

Apply the Fermented Wheat Flour (FWF) solution daily to stabilize pH levels in ponds. Ensure proper fermentation, broadcasting, and monitoring to achieve optimal results. Adjust application based on pH stability and running mortality reduction. Maintain D.O and turbidity levels within the recommended range, and ensure alkalinity remains above 180 ppm. Perform regular mineral checks and vibrio plate counts to ensure a healthy and stable aquatic environment.
