Organic Manure : An Overview
Organic manure is defined as the product resulting from the controlled biological decomposition of organic matter.
Manure can be prepared from :
yard trimmings bio-solids (sewage sludge) wood by-products animals manures crop residues biodegradable packing food scraps

Characteristics of Organic MatterCharacteristics of Organic Matter
Organic matter is the key constituent of
cultivated soils.
It has profound influence on the
physico-chemical and biological
characteristics of soil.

Cow dung ManureCow dung Manure
This is a type of Farm Yard Manure
Cow manure is rich in humus, the bulky and fibrous material that comes from undigested plant matter.
Cow manure is composted by putting it into a bin or pile and letting it decompose
It contains about 3 percent nitrogen, 2 percent phosphorous, and 1 percent potassium

Method of preparation of FYMMethod of preparation of FYM
Dig a 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 SlurryB. 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.

2. 2. Green ManuresGreen Manures
Green manure is a type of cover crop grown primarily to add nutrients and organic matter to the soil.
They are grown for the purpose of plowing them, thus increasing fertility through the incorporation of nutrients and organic matter into the soil.

Organic Manure : An Overview
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.
