Mass Production of Manure /Fertilizer from Agricultural Biomass

Summary

Northern Indian states face severe air pollution and soil degradation due to the widespread practice of burning paddy stubble, which accounts for 234.5 MT of surplus crop residue annually. This report details a study on developing an eco-friendly and economically viable technology, utilizing microbial products like Pusa Decomposer, to convert agricultural biowaste into farm compost within six months. The project, which included field demonstrations, aims to provide farmers with an alternative to burning, thereby enhancing soil fertility and creating additional income sources.
