Bulk Organic Matter and Dosage
Pure cow dung manure (FYM - Farm Yard Manure) is one of the oldest and most trusted organic fertilizers. While vermicompost is highly concentrated, composted cow dung provides the bulk organic matter needed to physically change the structure of hard clay or loose sandy soils.
Application Rates
For general field crops, the standard application rate is 4 to 5 Tonnes per acre. For intensive vegetable farming or heavy feeders, 8 to 10 Tonnes per acre is recommended. It must be applied 3-4 weeks before sowing to allow it to integrate fully into the soil matrix.
Why Composting is Non-Negotiable
Raw cow dung should never be applied directly to plants as it generates heat (ammonia) and contains weed seeds. It must be fully composted.
The Composting Requirement
Mitti Gold ensures all its cow dung manure is aged and composted for at least 6-8 months. This process kills pathogens and breaks down the harsh ammonia into gentle, slow-release nitrogen.
Improving Soil Physical Properties
The primary benefit of cow dung manure is its impact on Soil Organic Carbon (SOC). It acts like a sponge, dramatically increasing the water-holding capacity of the soil, which reduces the need for frequent irrigation.
Feeding the Soil Food Web
Cow dung is the primary food source for native earthworms. By adding bulk manure to your fields, you naturally attract deep-burrowing earthworms that will till and aerate your soil for free.
Cost-Effective Farming
Using composted cow dung manure is the most cost-effective way to transition a chemical-heavy farm back to organic status over a 3-year period.
