Abstract

Organic manure application is a common practice in sustainable agriculture, with significant effect for soil health, fertility, and productivity. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the effects of organic manure on various soil properties, including physical, chemical, and biological parameters. The review elucidates the complex interactions between organic manure and soil, highlighting the impacts on soil structure, nutrient availability, microbial activity, and overall soil health. Additionally, the review discusses the role of organic manure in mitigating soil degradation, enhancing crop productivity, and promoting sustainable agricultural practices. By understanding the diverse effects of organic manure on soil properties, farmers and policymakers can make informed decisions to improve soil management practices and ensure long-term agricultural sustainability.
