Organic Manure Application

Method:
Organic Manure is used alone or in combination with chemical fertilisers at the time of sowing / transplanting as drilling or broadcast. It can also be applied as side dressing along the rows or encircling around the plants. When used in grown up crops it should be mixed with the top 10 cm soil followed by irrigation. Uniform broadcast application is suggested in nurseries,lawns and other landscaping activity. Since this is a fully digested material it can be applied at any time of the crop feeding stage without the fear of nitrogen robbing effect or creation of heating root zone as against normal cattle manures.




Usually the dosages are governed by the type and fertility of the soil. In normal soils with average fertility 600 – 800 kg per acre is suggested.


Similar dosage will be required for full organically grown crops. In high fertility clay soils the dosage may be 400 to 600 kg per acre.


In sandy soils and no fertility status up to 1500 – 2000 kg per acre may be required.


For reclamation of problematic soils such as degraded wastelands, usars lands and saline – alkaline soils usage of the product @ 1500 – 2000 / Acre is required.
