Product type
Press mud is a byproduct derived from the sugarcane juice extraction process, primarily used in agriculture as an organic input to enhance soil health. It consists of the fibrous residue left after the juice is extracted, often rich in organic matter and nutrients. This material is typically composted or processed further to improve its properties before application.
