Agricultural yield depend amongst others, on the application of chemical inorganic fertilizers, especially the nitrogenous ones. But consistent use of nitrogenous fertilizer compiled with random use of insecticides and pesticides leaves traces of harmful precipitates in the soil and residues in final agricultural output that create health hazards to mankind. As a result people are concerned about the use of agricultural produce which is causing health hazards. Also the costs of fertilizers are on the rise with the gradual withdrawal of subsidy by the Govt. Therefore it becomes essential to evolve and adopt an alternative strategy by judicious application of a combination of chemical fertilizer and other supplementary products like bio-fertilizers, plant micronutrients and photosynthesis products. In India organic manure, compost, oilcakes, cow-dung and other manures are estimated to contribute about 6 million tons of nutrients to the soil. The chemical fertilizer consumption in the country for 2002-2003 is at the level of 18-20 million tonnes (65 kgs/ha) and increasing at the rate of 12% p.a and presently about 25% of the Nitrogenous fertilizer are imported to meet the demands.
Different organic substances such as spent meal, other agricultural waste and waste products like pressed mud of sugar factory, carbon, steamed bone dust, oil cake and other ingredients are put into a pit where exothermic reaction is created. Later using some bacterial culture it enriches the manure. The product is dried in fluid bed drier and then it is grounded. After grinding, sieving is done and mixed fully with soil enriching bacteria – the output is filled in bags, weighed, stitched through automatic bag filling-weighing-stitching machine and moved through conveyor system for storage.
