Abstract

Modern agricultural practices have been exhausting the nutrient
supplying capacity of soil on one hand and the disposal of huge
amounts of various biodegradable organic wastes due to modernization posing a major threat to environmental ecosystem on other hand. Among the alternatives available, disposal into soil through recycling is more fruitful rather than other options as the soils have high metabolic rates.
