What are Organic Manure?

Organic manure functions as a natural soil amendment which results from the decomposition of plant waste and animal excrement and agricultural by-products and organic materials through composting and vermicomposting and controlled microbial fermentation. The process increases soil fertility through better organic carbon content and microbial activity and moisture retention and nutrient availability. The application of organic manure to soil delivers nutrients at a slower rate compared to synthetic fertilizers and it maintains soil structure throughout its lifespan and establishes conditions for sustainable agricultural production. The method helps to restore worn-out land while delivering better agricultural results and reducing chemical fertilizer use in farming.
