    The document summarizes several composting methods used in India, including the NADEP method, NADEP phospho compost, Coimbatore method, and vermi compost. The NADEP method uses layers of various organic materials to produce fertilizer. NADEP phospho compost enriches compost with phosphorus by using rock phosphate and bacteria. The Coimbatore method layers farm waste and manure in pits for anaerobic then aerobic decomposition. Vermi compost uses worms to break down organic matter.

    COMPOSTS USED IN INDIA

    NADEP METHOD
    • The NADEP Composting method of organic composting was developed by a
    Narayan Deotao Pandharipande of Maharashtra.
    • This compost uses a wide range of organic materials such as crop residues, weeds,
    forest litter and kitchen waste with an end-product of a fertilizer that serves as a
    good alternative to farmyard manure
    • The process basically involves placing select layers of different types of compostible
    materials in a simple, mud-sealed structure designed with brick and mud water.
    • The system permits conversion of approximately 1 kg of animal dung into 40 kg of
    rich compost which can then be applied directly to the field.
    NADEP PHOSPHO COMPOST
    • This is a method to prepare phosphorus enriched compost using farm
    wastes, rock phosphate and phosphate solubilizing bacteria.
    • Insoluble phosphorus present in rock phosphate is transformed into
    soluble form through the action of certain specific micro organisms
    during the process of composting.
    • Compost is prepared using farm wastes, cow dung and soil as the
    quantity given for preparation of nadep compost .
    • Rock phosphate is added to this mixture @ 12.5% w/w. This mixture is
    filled either in pit, NADEP tank or BHU-NADEP.
    • This material is plastered with a mixture of dung and soil after adding
    sufficient water to moisten the decomposing mixture.
    • The material is turned after 15 days and thereafter at an interval of 30
    days.
    • At each turning water is added to maintain sufficient moisture. Compost
    becomes ready within 3-4 months and contains N,1%, P2O5, 2-4% and
    K2O, 1-2%.
    • One equal P2O5 basis this compost can substitute the use of phosphatic
    fertilizers in crops.
    BENEFITS

    • Reduced cash expenses on chemical fertilizer, improved soil fertility,


    increased crop yield.
    • Supports organic crop production, reduced dependence on outside
    inputs.
    • From each NADEP tank approximately 2.5 tons of compost is prepared
    with in 90-120 days.
    • The use of compost reduced the need for mineral fertilizer thus
    reducing production costs and outside dependence.
    COIMBATORE METHOD
    • This is an anaerobic decomposition.
    • First crop residues as well as farm wastes are filled in pits of 2m wide, 4 m
    length and 1 m depth to a thickness of about 15cm.
    • A five cm cow dung slurry is spread over this layer to increase its
    biodegradation.
    • Over this layer 1 kg ground rock phosphate is applied to minimize nitrogen loss.
    • In this way application of farm wastelcrop residue, cow dung slurry and rock
    phosphate is applied in alternate layers till the height reaches 0.5m above
    ground level.
    • After that the piled up material above ground is covered with soil or mud to
    prevent the entry of rain water.
    • After 35 to 40 days turning of material is done to make it an aerobic
    process.
    • Thereafter the compost will be ready within 4 to 5 months.
    • In the method, there is anaerobic decomposition to start with, following
    by aerobic fermentation.
    • It is the reverse in Bangalore method.
    • The Bangalore compost is not so thoroughly decomposed as the Indore
    compost or even as much as the Coimbatore compost, but it is bulkiest.
