Descripción
This practice describes how collecting and good storage of farmyard manure can help improve land productivity in Nepal. Farmyard manure is a varying mixture of animal manure, urine, bedding material, fodder residues, and other components is the most common form of organic manure applied in the midhills of Nepal. Farmyard manure has a high proportion of organic material which nurtures soil organisms and is essential in maintaining an active soil life. Only about half of the nutrient content of farmyard manure becomes available for crop growth during the first year after it has been applied to the soil and the rest is channelled through soil biotic processes and the nutrients are released in the following years.
