Abstract

                                Maximisation of production is the need of the day. Manuring crops is perhaps the easiest way of stepping up production. Commercial crops always receive better attention in the matter of manuring, in view of the more lucrative prices that can be secured. Concentrated manures are invariably applied to these crops for increasing production. Groundnut cake is the largest produced oil cake in this State and sulphate of ammonia, the most popular fertiliser applied to sugarcane. Experiments to find out the dose and time of application of these manures to sugarcane, either alone or in combination with other organic and inorganic concentrates were few and far betweon in this State. It is proposed to present in this paper, a review of the results of experiments so far conducted on sugarcane, using bulky organic manures, alone or in combination with other manur.
