Biotech Approach for Reclaiming Mined Lands
Introduction
Reclamation and restoration of mined
lands/waste lands.The fertility and productivity of
degraded mined lands / waste lands can be restored fast
through an integrated biotechnological approach which
includes application of selected biofertilisers, organic
manure and planting multipurpose silvae. This approach
ensures establishment of microflora and biogeochemical
cycles within a short span, which otherwise takes centuries.
It also provides forest produce for cottage industry
and employment to contiguous population.
Raw Materials:
Biofertilisers, plant saplings, organic
waste, land for nursery development.
