The Preparation of Manure with Night-Soil and Street Rubbish

Some Observations on Fly Breeding in Compost Trenches *Abstract of the paper communicated to and published by the Agricultural Section of the 32nd Indian Science Congress. The work was conducted under the compost scheme financed partly by the Imperial Council of Agricultural Research.

The usual two types of town wastes, viz. rubbish (katchra) and night-soil, are dealt with separately in their sanitary disposal. In most municipal towns in this province, katchra is stacked in heaps above ground, and near the outskirts of the town. Our observations have shown that it is as much a source of fly nuisance as the night-soil, but very little attention is paid to its sanitary disposa...

Disposal of Night-Soil and Rubbish by Compost System

A Hygienic Method of Composting Refuse with Night-Soil

years. In many parts of India, it lias long been the practice to utilize night-soil as manure without any previous treatment. It is also occasionally used for preparing ' poudrette' in combination with mud and refuse. In recent years, however, the desirability of preparing composts from night-soil and different forms of organic wastes under aerobic conditions is being increasingly realized as e...

Effects of Super-Absorbent Polymers (SAPs) Plus Manure Treatments on Vegetation Cover and Soil Nutrients of Festuca ovina under Drought Stress

Knowledge of physiological and environmental factors is important for foragegrass production. Festuca ovina is a grass species adapted to Azerbaijan region climate,Iran. This species is a valuable source for forage production and soil conservation.Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K) are three most important plant nutrients.The aims of present study were to investigate the effects of ...

Effects of Some Mineral Substrates on Qualitative and Quantitative Traits of Tuberose (Plianthes tuberosa L.)

Tuberose is one of the most important aromatic cut flower among ornamental plants that its growth and quality is influenced by the type and percentage of mineral compounds in the substrate. This study was carried out on the basis of a randomized complete design to explore the impact of feldspar, talc, dolomite and tuff minerals at the rate of 10, 20 and 40% incorporated with garden soil and man...
