Abstract

The purpose of this study is to better understand the factors influencing soil quality and explore methods for enhancing soil quality through cow dung culture farming. To do this, a case study was conducted on a hectare of land in a planned area. Our aim was to ascertain the impact of cow dung culture farming on soil quality indicators in Panser village, which is situated around 16 kilometers away from Saharanpur along Behat Road. In order to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the effects of cow dung culture farming on soil quality indicators, we separated the research area into two distinct groups: the experimental group (E1, E2, E3, E4 and E5) and the control group (C1 and C2). We examined soil samples from the aforementioned research sites for two crucial markers, namely cation exchange capacity and nitrogen. Throughout the study, regular soil samples were collected from both groups and examined in accordance with established protocols. The impact of cow dung culture farming on soil quality enhancement was evaluated by a comparison of soil quality metrics between the experimental and control groups. The study's findings will provide valuable information regarding the potential benefits of cow dung culture farming for sustainable agriculture in the specific agricultural setting that is being examined.
