Description

Despite the significant progress made in improving soils' ability to produce crops through the application of manures and fertilisers, there are still many uneducated peasants in many Asian countries who have been growing crops without applying enough manures and fertilisers to their crop fields, resulting in noticeably lower yields. As a result, understanding farmyard manure, compost, fertilisers, and other agricultural byproducts, as well as how to use them, is essential. The current book is an honest attempt to spread knowledge about manures and fertilisers. It is primarily intended as a reference work, and it covers a wide range of topics, including different manures, their preparation, and the effects they have, as well as the manufacture and consumption of different fertilisers and the full explanation of their qualities, uses, benefits, and drawbacks. In-depth explanations of the separate and combined applications of manures and fertilisers have been provided with reference to numerous different types of specific crops. The book is approachable even for average readers because of its reader-friendly approach to the subject, easy language, and lucid style. While it ideally meets the academic needs of undergraduate and graduate agriculture science students, it also serves as a significant long-term resource for researchers, teachers, farmers, and geologists.
