Manures, Fertilizers and Agricultural Chemicals

This PDF is a comprehensive text that the department of soil science and agricultural chemistry at S.V. Agricultural College has developed on the different inputs necessary to improve agricultural productivity. The document is preceded by an introduction to bulky organic manures, where the amount lost at the time of collection and storage of farm yard manure (FYM) is reported. It deals with the preparation of composts, green manures, and terms of various organic wastes-terms like sewage and sludge. The book covers concentrated organic manures, biogas plants, and processes of manufacture of commercial fertilizers - both of nitrogenous, phosphatic, and potassic type. It also gives a rundown on mixed fertilizers and amendments, and secondary and micronutrient fertilizers. An essential feature is the Fertilizer Control Order, and thus this article becomes a fundamental reference point for understanding the role of fertilizers and manures in sustainable agriculture.
