    This document summarizes a student's semester project on organic manure. The student used kitchen waste like vegetable peels and banana peels along with composting inoculums like cow dung and soil to create compost in a garden pot over 21 days. Observations showed the compost changed from a greyish color with no smell initially to a dark brown color with soil-like texture and no smell or pests after 21 days, indicating the composting was successful. Organic manures provide nutrients to crops and improve soil health.

    INTRODUCTION

    Organic manures are natural products used by farmers or gardeners to provide food for
    crop plants. Basically organic manures are beneficial in the cultivation of crops. They
    increase the organic matter in the soil which in turn releases the plant food available
    from the use of crops. Organic manures enable the soil to hold more water and also
    help to improve the drainage in clay soils. They even provide organic acids that help to
    dissolve soil nutrients and make them available for plants. There are a number of
    organic manures like farmyard manure, green manures, compost prepared from crop
    residues and other farm wastes, vermicompost , oil cakes, and biological wastes –
    animal bones, slaughter house refuse. Organic manure is being increasingly popular for
    organic farming
