The daily waste which is becoming a burden on the civic bodies can now be used for making organic manure. The Bhaba Atomic Research Centre has developed a technology, Nisargruna, based on the concept of maintaining elemental balance in nature. Presenting a paper on this study, Sharad P. Kale of Nuclear Agriculture and Biotechnology Division, states: “While applying sufficient manure to meet the soil’s need for one element, an organic farmer will incidentally apply an abundance of another element, as the manure is not processed to balance its value as a fertiliser to the soil’s needs.”
