Organic Manure : An Overview
Organic ManureOrganic Manure
Organic manure is defined as the product resulting from theOrganic manure is defined as the product resulting from the
controlled biological decomposition of organic matter.controlled biological decomposition of organic matter.
Manure can be prepared from : yard trimmings biosolids (sewage sludge) wood by-products animals manures crop residues biodegradable packing food scraps
Characteristics of Organic Matter
Organic matter is the key constitute of cultivated soils.
It has profound influence on the physico-chemical and biological characteristics of soil.
Chemical Composition of Chemical Composition of Organic MatterOrganic Matter1. Carbohydrates (sugar, starch, hemi-cellulose, pectins, gums,
mucilages, etc.)
2. Proteins, amino acids, amines, etc.
3. Fats, oils, waxes, resins, etc.
4. Alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, etc.
5. Lignins
6. Compounds containing ring structure (phenol, tennis, hydrocarbon)
7. Alkaloids and compounds with organic base- pyrimidine and purines
8. Miscellaneous substances like antibiotics, auxins, vitamins, enzymes and pigments

A. Farm Yard ManureA. Farm Yard Manure
Farm Yard Manure can be prepared by :
Cow dung,
Cow urine,
Waste straw and
Dairy waste etc.
Cow dung ManureCow dung Manure
Cow manure is rich in humus, the bulky, fibrous material that comes from undigested plant matter.
Cow manure is composted by putting it into a bin or pile and letting it sit
It contains about 3 percent nitrogen, 2 percent phosphorous, and 1 percent potassium
This is a type of Farm Yard Manure
Method of preparation of Method of preparation of FYMFYM
Dug the pit (4×6×10) near cattle shed above the level of soil.
Spread the excavated soil on the surface.
Fill the pit with grass and other material of cake shed and soil upto 10-15cm.
Spread cow dung manure up to 15-20 cm leave it for one to two month.

B. Farm Slurry
A mixture of water and animal waste used as fertilizer.
Farm slurry is produced at dairy farm at larger scale in rainy season.
It is highly nutritive for the plants. Click here to go backClick here to go back
2. 2. Green ManuresGreen Manures
Green manureGreen manure is a type of cover is a type of cover crop grown primarily to add nutrients crop grown primarily to add nutrients and organic matter to the soil.and organic matter to the soil.
They are grown for the purpose of They are grown for the purpose of plowing them, thus increasing plowing them, thus increasing fertility through the incorporation of fertility through the incorporation of nutrients and organic matter into the nutrients and organic matter into the
soil.soil.
Benefits of Green Manure Crops
Green manures, in the case of legumes, fix nitrogen and contribute to farm nitrogen needs.It protect and enhance the soil’s biological activity by providing nutrition for the soil organism. It aerates the soil, consequently improving the soil structure. Green manure crops cover the soil in between successive grain crops, thus protecting the soil against wind and water erosion.Green manure crops reduce soil compaction. Green manure crops provides a habitat for pollinators and other beneficial insects.
