India Needs Relook at Nutrient Use Efficiency

Concerted and collaborative efforts of
the industry, Governments, and all
concerned stakeholders will go a long
way to improve NUE for betterment of
soil health, farm productivity and the
farmers.

An Emergent Strategy for Promotion of Bio-fertilisers

Realizing the full potential of biofertilisers
requires strengthened R&D
efforts, targeted technology development
and robust industrial infrastructure,
along with improved research–
extension linkages and decentralized
production systems

Natural Farming to Sustain Soil Health

Natural farming is vital for
improving physical, chemical and
biological properties of the soil on
sustainable basis. It should be given
more impetus, wherever, feasible.

Sustainable Fertiliser Management

The Indian fertiliser industry has
responsibly been ensuring availability
of fertilisers across the
country to the farmers. Fertiliser
management in all aspects from
production, distribution, marketing
and application have to be aligned
to the same objective of sustainability
in each element of value
chain.

Crop Diversification for Sustainable Agriculture

There is a need for inclusive
research to know the effects of
continuous cropping system on soil
properties, and suggestive cropping
systems for agro-climatic zones
across the country having better
system productivity on sustainable
basis, keeping the food security
intact.
