Stop Burning Sugarcane Leaves: Pusa Decomposer Transforms Waste into Gold for Farmers

• Sugarcane farmers in Western Uttar Pradesh face challenges with leaf residue after harvest, often resorting to burning, which causes pollution and soil degradation.
• Agricultural scientists recommend using Pusa Decomposer to convert sugarcane leaves into natural manure directly in the field.
• Dr. I.K. Kushwaha of Krishi Vigyan Kendra explains the method: mix Pusa Decomposer with jaggery, gram flour, and water, then apply with irrigation or spray.
• This technique not only clears fields but also enriches soil fertility, providing dual benefits and avoiding pollution control actions.
• Using Nano DAP and NPK after decomposition further boosts the next sugarcane crop's nutrition and yield.

Why It Matters: Pusa Decomposer offers sugarcane farmers an eco-friendly way to turn leaf waste into valuable soil-enriching manure.
