Students of class 8 visited Mannuthi Agricultural University on 7th December 2023 along with their class teachers. Students were exposed to various types of biofertilizers, vermicompost and organic manures which can be used along with chemical fertilizers and thus, can reduce greater dependency on chemical fertilizers. At the same time, organic manures play an important role in improving soil quality and ultimately enhancing crop productivity. Students also learned the
methods of soil and water testing and how soil testing kits developed by agri- innovators can help in determining on the spot available nutrients status in the soil.
