PAS_1 "COW DUNG FOR ECOFRIENDLY AND SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTIVE FARMING - Cows dung is a most important source of bio-fertilizer and used in many developing countries for generating energy. It is very effective alternative to chemical fertilizers and enhances productivity in long term while maintaining the soil health and the microbial population. Cow dung manure and vermicompost increases soil organic matter content, and this leads to improved water infiltration and water holding capacity as well as an increased cation exchange capacity. It is one of the renewable and sustainable energy resources through dung cakes or biogas which replace the dependence upon charcoal, fuel wood, firewood and fossil fuel etc. Beside it, application of cowdung in proper and sustainable way can enhance not only productivity of yield but also minimizing the chances bacterial and fungal pathogenic disease." https://www.researchgate.net/publication/279951238_COW_DUNG_FOR_ECOFRIENDLY_AND_SUSTAINABLE_PRODUCTIVE_FARMING
