| Abstract: |
Programmes to improve traditional soil management on the very small farms in the mid-hills of Nepal have previously recommended inorganic fertilizers as the main means of eN hancing soil fertility. Farmyard manure (FYM) applied mainly to improve soil physical properties. Since 2000, the Sustainable Soil Management Programme has promoted sustainable soil management practices giving greater prominence to FYM as a nutrient fertilizer by promoting improvements in its management and quality. FYM improvement involves: careful collection, layering, turning and moistening of the manure; shading heaps from sunlight to minimize N-volatilization; protecting heaps from rainfall to reduce nutrient loss through leaching; and the systematic collection and admixture of cattle and buffalo urine………………. |
