2. Incorporating crop residues in soil near root zone: WITH
BHU-SWANAND
The intention of these methods is to obtain microbe rich organic
manure near the root zone.This method is primarily aimed at
composting the crop residues near the root zone.
Method consists of:
Step I : Collect organic waste near root zone.
Step II : Spray cow dung slurry along with Bhu- swanand
solution.
These two intrinsic factors literally translate into the setting
up of BIOLOGICAL FACTORIES where to nne s of biomass in the form
of leaf litter, wood shavings, and animal droppings get
incorporated into the soil. Animal wastes (cattle sheep poultry,
piggery) and coffee husk are also constantly incorporated , into
the soil and then get converted into available nutrients for
plant growth and development. This ongoing process not only
maintains soil fertility, but also enhances growth of roots.
2.1 Ring method:
For horticulture crops like pomegranate, custard apple, mangoes
, citrus etc where drip irrigation is not available. There is a
general practice of applying compost or FYM or organic
fertilizer before the start of monsoon.
Ring Method of application is used. This method consist of
excavating a round trench of 6' x 6' along the stem with half a
canopy diameter and in this trench fertilizers are applied. We
suggest, putting organic waste whichever are available below
this fertilizer , layer and spray solution of Bhu-swanand after
first rain showers . During rainy season moisture is maintained
and compost get s ready with in a month or two .
