Description
Cow dung cake is a type of organic fertiliser made from dried cow dung. It is commonly used in agriculture to provide essential nutrients to crops and improve soil fertility. The process of making cow dung cakes involves collecting fresh cow dung, drying it in the sun, and then pressing it into cakes or patties.
Some of the key characteristics of cow dung cakes include:
- Natural: Cow dung cakes are made up of natural materials and do not contain any synthetic chemicals.
- Rich in nutrients: Cow dung is a rich source of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, which are essential nutrients for plant growth and directly increase the fertility of the soil.
- Good for soil health: Cow dung cakes help to improve soil structure, water-holding capacity, and fertility.
- Eco-friendly: Cow dung cakes are an environmentally friendly alternative to synthetic fertilisers. They do not produce harmful runoff or contribute to soil degradation.
- Cost-effective: Cow dung cakes are an affordable and accessible source of fertiliser for farmers, especially in rural areas where access to synthetic fertilisers may be limited.
