04/24/2009 | Theoretically the organic manure will contain lower level of nutrients because in organic dairy farming choice and often level of conc. ingredients are limited. If still the level of nutrients is higher in manure than this means that the digestibility of these nutrients is abysmally low in organic dairy farming.

05/08/2009 | In the current scenario when people are more concerned about their health this is extremely important to focus our attention towards a by-product from livestock production which is easily available and going waste. Manure if properly preserved and used is more soil friendly than chemical fertilizers.

Further chemical fertilizers prices are going up day by day and they are one crop specific while organic manure though slow releasing but effective for next three crops.

R&D should take it as a special assignment and find some solution to be pelleted so that its handling and transportation should be easy. Once it is done it will be very popular among the farmers as its benefits are more than inorganic fertilizers both in terms of economics and soil conditioning.
