Bio-organic Manure: A Manual Guide

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2012 im Fachbereich Agrarwissenschaften, , Veranstaltung: Soil and Environment, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: It has been widely accepted that organic materials (plant and animal sources of organicmatter) from plants and animals play important role in sustaining and improving soilstructure, soil quality, soil function, soil health, soil fertility, and overall crop performance inagricultural production. Organic materials are potential important sources of micro and macronutrients in agricultural soils environment (Hood, 2001). They affect physical, biological,chemical, and ecological processes in soil. They improve soil structural quality, soil waterholding capacity, soil infiltration, soil organism biodiversity, and soil nutrient availability(FAO, 2005). The utilization of the animal and plant materials is not only an economicbenefit for soil and crops but also for human being and his environment.Bio-organic Manure (BOM) is processed from some organic materials (animal or plant orcombinations of all). Process of decomposition of homogeneous and heterogeneous organicmaterials will be rapidly undergoing some changes due to microbial functions, temperaturecontrol, and water actions. This is different from fresh organic fertilizer where natural decayprocess is brought about by the action of heterogeneous microbes present in the organicmatter. [...]
