This technology describes the introduction of Farm Yard Manure (FYM) and compost practices for wheat production in Ghotki district in Pakistan under dry spell conditions, during the Rabi season in 2018 (January to April). It also provides a cost benefit analysis of the describe practice compared to the traditional wheat growing. The main hazards affecting agricultural livelihoods in this district are dry spells and related water scarcity. The application of FYM and compost on the fields increases the water holding capacity of the soil and enhances soil fertility. This practice allows the farmers to reduce water use and increase production. FYM serves as balanced nutritious manure for plants, improves soil biodiversity, and represents a cost-effective fertilization strategy. Physical properties like bulk density, porosity, void ratio, water permeability and hydraulic conductivity were also significantly improved when FYM was applied. Similarly, compost application increases the availability of essential micro and macro nutrients for the crop and can improve physical and chemical properties of the soils. The tillering, plant height and biomass were also significantly increased. Using compost and FYM not only allows to decrease the use of chemical fertilizer but also improves soil texture for successive crops. The application of FYM in combination with the use of compost for the production of wheat is called a Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) practice. It is aimed at preventing new and reducing existing disaster risk and managing residual risk, all of which contribute to strengthening resilience and therefore to the achievement of sustainable development.
