Background

Background of Study:

I went to Kallapur village as a part of village study. Through this village study I observed low yield of agriculture.  And through the discussion with farmer they are facing this problem.  This reason was promoted to me study on this topic. So this curiosity was ended with my study. 

Introduction

Introduction about Village:

Farm Yard Manure (FYM) is prepared basically using cow dung, cow urine, waste straw and other dairy wastes.  The Kallapur village was located in under the Ramapura GP taluka, district of Dharwad, state of Karnataka, India.  This village having 1171 population and it has 411.30 hector geographical areas out of this area the agriculture available land is 410.2 hector. In this geographical area the majority farmers are growing sugarcane crop. And rests of crops are maize, paddy, etc.

Guidance

Motivation:

Behind this study, I have motivated by Mr. Naveen Jha, the director of Deshpande Foundation.  I remembering here them, without their co operation this study will not happen. And I remember here those who helped directly and indirectly for this study.

Objectives:

The main objectives of this study as given below:

1.      To study on production of manure by cow’s and buffalo’s.

2.      Effects of using organic manure.

3.      To know the importance of organic manure.

Used Methodology

Methodology:

In this study I used random methodology. And observation, interaction.  I have collected secondary data from Gram Panchyat of Kallapur village, KVK, The Organic Institute of Dharwad, and Internet.  For primary data I have interacted with the Kallapur village farmers. Over all in this study I was used random methodology. 

Findigns of the study

Major Findings:

The major finding of this study was I have found some important findings through this study. These are given below,

1.      3 – 4 tons Farm Yard Manure will require per hector land. And 2 – 3 tons of vermicompost will require per hector.

2.      One cow/buffalo will give 7 to 15 kg of dung in a day.

3.      FYM is rich in nutrients.

4.      Application of FYM improves soil fertility.

5.      Require manure for the 410 hector land is FYM 1230 to 1640 tons and Vermicompost 820 to 1230 tons.

6.      Cost of Organic manure for vermicompost 425 to 500 Rs per 50 kg. And for FYM 1500 to 2000 Rs. Per ton.

7.      Compare to cost of FYM and Vermicompost higher than chemical fertilizer.

8.      FYM was easily accessible.

Require Organic Manure

 For Kallapur village:

The Kallapur village having 410 hector cultivating land. I found result for require animals to convert organic manure of the village. For the one ton 66 animals (Buffalo’s) are require.  For per hector 233 animals are and for the total 410 hector land 95530 animals are require. 

Conclussion:

Suggestions:

Through this study I came to conclusion.  The output of this study was that the farmers are using more chemical fertilizers than the organic manure. Because of the using of technology leads to the less use of animals, for example if formers are using tractor the work of animals are reduced automatically. Another important thing is that the process of organic manure (vermicompost) is lengthy and orientation for the farmers they are not able to practice it. So farmer’s are using of chemical fertilizer. And cost of organic manure high than the chemical fertilizer. According to some researchers high using of chemical fertilizer will decrease the soil fertility. I as per suggestion Govt. and NGO should be taken imitative to train the farmers for using of organic manure. Farmers should be take initiative to do practice on it.
