This resulted in poor soil health, less crop yield and overall economic loss to farmers
Summary
Soil is one of the most important hosts which influence various biogeochemical and microbial processes. Maintenance of soil health in Indian farming was based on animal wastes from farm especially cattle to replenish organic content. In many other parts of India, unprocessed animal waste such as cow dung is directly applied to the field which maintains soil health but does not provide yield comparable to synthetic fertilizers.
