composting is organic matter

Compost is organic matter (plant and animal residues) which has been rotted down by the action of bacteria and other organisms, over a period of time.Materials such as leaves, fruit skins and animal manures can be used to make compost. Compost is cheap, easy to make and is a very effective material that can be added to the soil, to improve soil and crop quality.

Compost improves the structure of the soil. This allows more air into the soil, improves drainage and reduces erosion.Compost improves soil fertility by adding nutrients and by making it easier for plants to take up the nutrients already in the soil. This produces better yields.

Compost improves the soil’s ability to hold water. This stops the soil from drying out in times of drought.
Compost can reduce pests and diseases in the soil and on the crop.Compost has many advantages over chemical fertilisers.

Organic manure for nutrient supply

Organic manure for nutrient suppy,chemical pest control system .Microbial decomposition of organic matter results in the forming of humus and these release many plant nutrients.Microbes also produce sticky substances called polysaceharides that glue soil particles together.Humus exerts a positive influence on the physical chemical and biological properties of soil and therefore is a major factor determining the soil fertility.

Humus improves soil bulk density & water holding capacity(sandy soil) and infiltration capacity in clay soil by aggregation due to improved soil porosity and aeration,helps root growth and penetration and increases the slow and steady availability of plant nutrients by virtue of its chelation property.Humus substances specially increase phosphorus availability as they have a very high catio exchange capacity.

Organic manure compost contain a very large population of bacteria,actinomycetis & fungi and also stipulate those which are present in soil.Nitrogen fixation and phosphorous solubilization are increased due to improved microbial activity in the soil.

Using City Compost


City Compost for Urban Farming:

India’s Green Revolution rescued the nation from food crisis, but left over 11.6 million hectares of low-productivity
nutrient-depleted soils distroy by unbalanced and excessive use of synthetic fertilisers and lack of organic manure or micronutrients
City compost can fill this need and solve both the problems of barren land and organic nutrient shortages, estimated at 6 million tons a year.India’s 35 largest cities alone can provide 5.7 million tonnes a year of organic manure if their biodegradable waste is composted and returned to the soil.



Integrated Plant Nutrient Management, using city compost along with synthetic fertilisers, can generate enormous national savings as well as cleaning urban India.The application of compost together with synthetic fertilisers makes crops more pest-resistant by strengthening their root systems and also controls nutrient wastage and groundwater nitrate pollution.
