Plant nutrients can lift farmers out of poverty: A paper |
Oct 24:
In developing countries around 2 billion people live and work on small farms. Most of the world's smallholder farmers are struggling to live and feed their families on less than US$2 a day.
8Fertilizers play a crucial role in overcoming this type of poverty: adequate and affordable access to fertilizers allows subsistence farmers to produce a surplus that they can sell, using the income to not only buy additional food for their families, but also send their children to school and pay for health care.
8The impact of fertilizers is immediate: within a single cropping season, and with the adequate use of other crop inputs (e.g. water) farm productivity can be doubled or tripled.

Cutting-Edge Solutions for Agricultural Production: New Technology |
Oct 24:
For the first time, displayed agricultural solutions applied by its Plodorodie Agribusiness Holding. Visitors were most interested in the aerial data collection technology, which offers automated soil analysis using camera-equipped drones, Drones provide multispectral imagery for cloud computing.
8Drones scout over the fields and independently return to the base for battery recharge. The footage is then analysed and compared with the database. All the information is stored in the database for subsequent analysis.
8The results of automated soil analysis are used for differentiated application of mineral fertilisers to the soil.

Drip irrigation benefits |
Oct 23:
This paper focuses on the implementation of Drip Irrigation technique which can save water and fertilizer provided to the crops and also minimize the manual labor on the field for irrigation so that one can save time, cash and power.
8When properly designed and managed, it has many advantages over other irrigation methods including the elimination of surface runoff, high uniformity of water distribution, high water usage efficiency, flexibility in fertilization, prevention of weed growth and plant diseases.
8Preliminary research shows that implementing drip irrigation through IoT technology has a wide potential to improve the way farms are currently irrigated. Making use of open hardware system for implementing smart drip irrigation enables changes in the system easily if needed.

We may face a urea glut soon, warns PSU CMD |
Oct 22:
The consumption of urea is expected to remain constant due to the introduction of 45 kg urea bags and neem coated urea, going ahead, according to the chairman of the public sector fertilizer company.
8He cautioned that if all capacity comes up and urea consumption remains constant, then, there will be a problem of handling that extra material as India would not be able to export because of the high cost.
8Secondly, the extra production would be at high efficiency.
8This may further pose threat to production beyond 100% for reassessed capacity for less efficient plants.

Food grade bacterium can cut nitrogen use drastically |
Oct 17:
The paper analyses a technology, which is based on a food-grade bacterium derived from sugarcane, is environmentally friendly and applies to all major crops. It provides a cost benefit to the grower through reduced fertiliser costs and improved yields.
8This is applied to the seed and spreads systemically through the plant thereby converting atmospheric nitrogen into a form that the plant can use.
8Further research shows that this technology reduced nitrogen fertiliser usage by up to 50% which lowers farming costs. In the future, sustainable agriculture will depend on the greater use of biological nitrogen fixation at a time when more food is needed to feed an increasing population.
