Question: What is sericulture? (IFFCO 2022)
Options:
FYM (Farmyard Manure)
Compost
Droppings of sheep & goat
None of these
✅Explanation:
-Nutrient Composition: Sheep and goat manure is richer in nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium than other common manures.
-Nitrogen Content: Sheep and goat manure has a higher percentage of nitrogen, which is crucial for plant growth and chlorophyll production.
-Faster Decomposition: Their droppings tend to decompose faster than FYM, making nutrients more readily available to plants.
-Less Straw Content: Compared to FYM, sheep and goat manure usually contains less straw and undigested material, resulting in a higher concentration of nutrients.
