Farm Yard Manure (FYM) is a natural organic fertilizer made from decomposed mixture of cattle dung, urine, straw, and other farm waste. It is one of the oldest and most commonly used organic fertilizers in agriculture.
Key Points:
Composition: Contains macro and micronutrients, humus, and beneficial microorganisms.
Improves Soil Health: Enhances soil structure, moisture retention, and microbial activity.
Nutrient Content: Provides Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Potassium (K).
Information Booster:
Application Time: Usually applied before plowing to allow proper decomposition.
Enhancement: Sometimes mixed with biofertilizers to improve nutrient availability.
Comparison with Compost: FYM is slow-releasing, whereas compost is faster-releasing in terms of nutrients.
Stored in pits: To avoid nutrient loss due to leaching and volatilization.
