The Significance of Soil Organic Matter on the Soil Productivity in the Farms of Deoria District: A Case Study

The negative effect of the green revolution can be seen in the decreasing fertility of the agricultural land as the excess use of pesticide and chemical fertilizer by the farmers have resulted into the increase amount of toxic and chemicals in the farm soil. In most of the cases the farm soil has lost the fertility due to the lack of humus i.e. organic matter due to which soil is unable to retain moisture, maintain the soil temperature and lack micro nutrients which is essential for the longevity of the farm land. The objective of the whole study is to focus on the significance of the green manure and the compost in sustainability of the soil temperature, soil moisture retentivity and the overall fertility of the farm soil and to assess and evaluate the factors which may facilitate the adoption of organic farming.
