From the foregoing discussion it can be concluded that the application of deoiled cakes as organic manures enhances the growth and biomass production of tree seedlings.
Also low C: N ratio its decomposition rate is faster than easily available for plant nutrients and reduces population of plant-parasitic nematodes.
Among various deoiled seed cakes mahua, neem, castor, sal, karanj, mustard etc. proved that the good potentiality of deoiled seed cakes as an effective and much cheaper source of plant nutrients.

Action: Injudicious use of fertilizers
Impact: Deteriorate soil properties.
Therefore, decrease in soil fertility and
productivity
Overcome: INM / organic farming
Component: Fertilizer, Manure,
Biofertilizer

4. • Indian soils being very poor in organic matter and major
plant nutrients,
• Addition of regular doses of organic manures in requisite
quantities can help restoration of soil health and also
compensate the loss of basic nutrients of every year from
soil due to uptake of plants.
• Use of organic manure is extremely essential for better
plant productivity and maintaining the fertility of soil to
ensure sustainable production.

Need for deoiled seed cakes as
Organic Manure
6. 6
• Deoiled cakes are the by-products of oil
seed crops or trees.
• After oil is extracted from oil seeds, the
remaining solid portion is called deoiled
cakes.
• It is widely used as animal feed or
organic manure.
• Oil cakes are the important and quick
acting organic nitrogenous manure.
Deoiled cakes
7. A. Edible Oil Cakes
Are those cakes which are edible in nature
Such oil cakes are used for feeding to animals
Such as:
Mustard oil cakes,
Groundnut cake,
Sesame or Til cake,
Coconut cake etc.
7
Types of Deoiled Cakes
8. These oil cakes are not suitable for
feeding to animals
Therefore, they are mainly used as
manures
These are a good source of nutrients.
Such as : Castor cake
Neem cake
Mahua cake
Karanj cake
Sal meal cake etc.

B. Non-edible oil cakes
9. Mahua (Madhuca indica) Jatropha (Jatropha curcas)
Karanj (Pongamia pinnata) Neem (Azadiractha indica)
Sal (Shorea robusta)

Major non-edible tree borne oilseeds (TBOs)
11. The non-edible oil cakes contain a harmful toxic substance,
which make them unsuitable for feeding to cattle.

Jatropha cake Jatropine

12. Manufacture of organic fertilizer because they are
concentrated organic manure.
Improves the soil properties i.e. Physical, chemical and
biological
Deoiled seed cakes are rich in NPK content than bulky
organic manures (Table: Yawalkar and Agrawal (1962)
They also have micro nutrients, which are very important
for plant growth.
Quick acting organic manures as C:N ratio is usually
narrow (5-15)
Improve the soil reaction
12
13. It increases the microbial population and
activity
Biological nitrogen fixation
Solubilization of insoluble phosphates and
other nutrients
There is improvement in soil structure, water
holding capacity, exchange capacity, seed
germination and reduction of soil erosion.
13
14. Oil prevents rapid conversion of N
Some oil cakes contains alkaloids which are
responsible for slow nitrification of their N due to
effects of on soil microorganisms
Castor cake has also good vermicidal effect
against white ants
Groundnut cake has the highest nitrification rate.
Mahua cake is very poor in N and takes a long time
to nitrify. When used as manure it has got to be
applied to the soil two to three months before
sowing/planting of crop.
Seed cakes of Jatropha, Karanj, Castor and Neem
have pesticide materials, which save the plants
from pests.

Cosmetics: Used in various skin and body lotions, skin
creams and moisturizers. It is also used to make face
packs etc.
Pharmaceuticals: It is used to manufacture medicated
creams curing pimples, blemishes and other skin
infections. It is also used to manufacture birth control
products.

19. • Before their organic nitrogen is used
by the plants, it is converted through
bacterial action into readily usable
form of ammonical nitrogen and
nitrate nitrogen.
• These organic manures are relatively
slow acting, but they supply
variables nitrogen for a longer
period. 19

From the foregoing discussion it can be concluded that the

Also low C: N ratio its decomposition rate is faster than easily
available for plant nutrients and reduces population of plant-
parasitic nematodes.
Among various deoiled seed cakes mahua, neem, castor, sal,
