Use of organic manures (farm yard, compost and green manuring) with judicious use of acidic fertilizers (ammonium sulphates, nitrophos and single super phosphate) can considerably increase the yields and also keep the soils healthy and enriched.
Use of 15-20 bags of gypsum per acre along with organic and inorganic fertilizers does not only increase the yield but also keep the soils healthy and fertile. Similarly, application of 1-2 bags of gypsum around each fruit tree lowers soil Ph and enhances production.
Use of Farm Yard Manure, compost and green manuring increases the soil organic matter, population of micro-organisms, soil fertility, water holding capacity of soil, and soil fertility, enhancing crop production.
Proper application of inorganic fertilizers can save 50 per cent of fertilizers going to waste, reduces the cost of production and increases the yield. Drill application is one of the methods to reduce sue of fertilizes to half.
