DocumentFarm yard manure and water hyacinth compost applications to enhance organic matter and water holding capacity of soils in drought prone areas of Bangladesh 2012
Also available in:
No results found.The organic matter content of the soil is an indication of soil fertility. Low organic matter content can worsen the water-holding capacity of the soil which is crucial during drought periods. Several methods can be used to enrich soil and increase its fertility, for example through the use of farm yard manure and water hyacinth composts. This practice describes how to prepare and preserve farm yard manure from wastes on the farm and also explains water hyacinth compost preparation, with a practice example on how to apply it on a mango tree. -
DocumentWheat cultivation with farmyard manure and compost application under dry spell conditions in Pakistan 2018
Also available in:
No results found.This technology describes the introduction of farmyard manure (FYM) and the application of compost for wheat production in the Ghotki district in Pakistan. FYM serves as balanced nutritional manure for plants, improves soil biodiversity and represents a cost-effective fertilisation strategy. Physical properties like bulk density, porosity, void ratio, water permeability and hydraulic conductivity were also significantly improved when FYM was applied. Similarly, compost application increases the availability of essential micro- and macronutrients for the crop and can improve physical and chemical properties of the soils. The tiller, plant height and biomass were also significantly increased. Using compost and FYM helped farmers to increase yields, while contributing to decrease the use of chemical fertilizer and improving soil texture for successive crops. -
