Abstract:

Generally we all know that huge quantity of waste is generated from sugar industries, managing of which has become a very serious issue. It is a well-established fact that due to the mono-cropping year after year in the same field, the physical, chemical and biological fertility and productivity of the soil is deteriorating. At present, the majority of the farmers are used to inorganic fertilizers to meet the total nutrient requirements in crop production. Continuous uses of inorganic fertilizers and lack of organic matter have resulted in increase of environmental pollution, alkalinity and salinity of the soils, which result in reducing the crop productivity. Present study was conducted to prepare the compost from the raw press mud and five set of batches were prepared which consist of raw press mud, culture of microorganisms, water and composted cowdung as the nutritional source.
