Usage of organic manure will protect and enrich soil fertility and the agricultural produce raised through organic manure will have more nutrient contents, said G.Nammalvar, organic farming expert, here recently.

Addressing the youth development programme ‘Kanavu Meipada' conducted at SRV Matriculation HSS in Samayapuram, Mr. Nammalvar said heavy use of chemical fertilizers had affected the soil fertility and advised the farmers to switch over to organic farming. Dr.Nammalvar said everyone should strive hard to prevent global warming

P.Swaminathan and K.Thulasithasan, secretary and principal respectively of the school and others spoke on the occasion.
