Abstract

Present investigation deals with the effect of burning organic waste on soil surface. Significant increase in macro and micro nutrient content in the soil was observed, particularly under the influence of sunlight. Solarization of soil with burning of organic waste on its surface, thus, increased soil nutrient content.
