Detail:

Usually farmers apply urea to boost the growth of paddy seedlings in the nursery stage. This practice is followed 10 days before pulling out the seedlings for transplanting. Mugundan wanted to replace chemical fertilizer with organic means. He tried using groundnut cake and cow’s urine. It worked well. Mugundan has sown 400 kg of paddy seeds (Ponni variety) in 50 cents for raising a nursery. Twelve days before pulling out the seedlings, he soaked groundnut cake (10 kg) in cow’s urine (20 lit) for two days and mixed it in the water supply channel. This has given good results and compared well with urea application.
