Shahjahanpur: These days, farmers are harvesting the sugarcane crop. After harvesting the sugarcane, the residue is found which is a big challenge for the farmers. Many times farmers burn sugarcane leaves, which has a negative impact on soil health. The fertility of the soil is low, farmers need to invest more money to grow the next crop, but if the farmers dispose of the sugarcane leaves in the field, the farmer will get free fertilizer and the soil health will be better.

Dr. Prakash Yadav, scientist of Uttar Pradesh Sugarcane Research Institute, said that after harvesting sugarcane, farmers harvest the sugarcane crop, after which the farmers should dispose of the sugarcane leaves in the field itself. There are many benefits of disposing of sugarcane leaves in the field. Soil health is improved by disposing of husks in the fields. The water holding capacity of the soil increases and the amount of organic carbon also increases rapidly, but disposing of the leaves in the field remains a bit challenging for the farmers. If farmers want to dispose of the sugarcane crop in the field, they can convert the leaves into manure with the help of Organo De Composer, these leaves will convert into manure after 30 to 35 days.

After that, mix Organo De-composer at the rate of 4 kg per acre with 2 quintals of rotten cow dung and pour it on the sugarcane leaves. After 30 to 35 days, the sugarcane leaves will rot and turn into manure. By doing this there will be better splitting of sugarcane. The buds emerging will be stronger and less weeds will grow in the field.
