NOVELTY - Slow-release fertilizer comprises chicken feather, duck feather, pig hair, dry cow dung, effective microorganism (EM)-containing agent, rapeseed cake, sawdust, ammonium molybdate, urea, sulfuric acid solution, ammonium nitrate, potassium chloride, ammonium hydrogen phosphate, binder and water. The binder comprises sodium selenite, urea, glyoxal, ethanol, slaked lime, methyl silicone oil, alkanolamide and water.    USE - The slow-release fertilizer is useful for planting and growing apple plants (claimed).    ADVANTAGE - The fertilizer is rich in amino acids and other nutritional components, and promotes absorption of inorganic elements by plants. The method consumes less energy.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Slow-release fertilizer comprises 20-40 pts. wt. chicken feather, 15-40 pts. wt. duck feather, 10-15 pts. wt. pig hair, 30-50 pts. wt. dry cow dung, 2-3 pts. wt. effective microorganism (EM)-containing agent, 15-25 pts. wt. rapeseed cake, 5-10 pts. wt. sawdust, 4-7 pts. wt. ammonium molybdate, 20-30 pts. wt. urea, 70-100 pts. wt. sulfuric acid solution (having concentration of 50 wt.%), 10-15 pts. wt. ammonium nitrate, 14-20 pts. wt. potassium chloride, 8-14 pts. wt. ammonium hydrogen phosphate, 4-5 pts. wt. binder and suitable amount of water. The binder comprises 2-4 pts. wt. sodium selenite, 3-5 pts. wt. urea, 6-9 pts. wt. glyoxal, 8-12 pts. wt. ethanol, 5-8 pts. wt. slaked lime, 3-6 pts. wt. methyl silicone oil, 1-2 pts. wt. alkanolamide and suitable amount of water. The binder is prepared by (i) adding ethanol to water for 10-fold dilution, heating obtained solution at 70-90 degrees C, sequentially adding urea and glyoxal to the solution at 300-500 revolutions/minute (rpm), stirring obtained mixture for 20-30 minutes, and performing heat preservation, (ii) mixing alkanolamide, slaked lime and methyl silicone oil in a reaction tank, adding 2-3 times water, and stirring obtained mixture for 20 minutes to obtain paste, and (iii) mixing the sodium selenite with products obtained in steps (i) and (ii), maintaining obtained mixture at 300-400 rpm, carrying out heat preservation under stirring condition for 30-50 minutes, and cooling obtained product. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for method for preparing the slow-release fertilizer, which involves (a) washing the chicken feather, duck feather and pig hair for removing impurities, adding washed components to the sulfuric acid solution in reaction tank, heating obtained mixture at 80-100 degrees C and 300-500 rpm for 6-10 hours under stirring condition, and heating and concentrating the mixture, (b) diluting the EM-containing agent for 10 times, mixing the dry cow dung, rapeseed cake and sawdust colza, spraying diluted EM-containing agent on obtained mixture, controlling water content of the mixture at 65-80%, fermenting the mixture at 35-42 degrees C for 15-20 days, (c) mixing products obtained in steps (a) and (b), adding water to obtained mixture, and crushing the mixture for 40-60 minutes using ball mill to obtain thick paste, and (d) mixing the ammonium molybdate, urea, ammonium nitrate, potassium chloride and ammonium hydrogen phosphate, crushing mixture to obtain fine powder, sieving the fine powder using sieve having 40 mesh size, adding binder, remaining components and product obtained in step (c) to mixture, stirring mixture for 2-3 hours, and controlling water content of the mixture at 40%.
