Indian agriculture plays a big role in the Harvest timeoverall socio-economic development of India.


Some interesting statistics

India is the biggest producer in the world of milk, cashew nuts, coconuts, tea, ginger, turmeric and black pepper.

It has the world’s largest cattle population. The 2nd largest producer of wheat, rice, sugar, groundnut and inland fish.

3rd largest producer of tobacco and more than 10% of the world fruit production is in India

India the highest producer of bananas and sapota fruit in the world                        

With this background and India standings, it is no wonder that fertilizers play a major role in the strengthening of the economic giant. With a population that is also growing, a healthy middle class, food and agriculture gets great priority in the Indian budget. Our attempt is to be a value driving contributor to this segment.

Fertilizers

Fertilizers are substances that supply plant nutrients or amend soil fertility. They are the most effective means of increasing crop production and of improving the quality of food and fodder. Fertilizers are used in order to supplement the natural nutrient supply in the soil, especially to correct the (yield-limiting) minimum factor.

                                                                                                      

 Fertilizers are soil amendments applied to promote plant growth; the main nutrients present in fertilizer are nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (the 'macronutrients') and other nutrients ('micronutrients') are added in smaller amounts. Fertilizers are usually directly applied to soil, and also sprayed on leaves ('foliar feeding').

It is true, fertilizers make the world look green !! Gives food to the billions in our world.

 

Fertilizer Products are many                                                                                             


 

If you scan through any library or books concerning this topic, there are millions of pages devoted to in-depth studies on this subject. It is vast and there is research still going on in many organisations on the benefits of fertilizers, natural, chemical, organic, bio fertilizers and so on. What we are currrently catering to are a few like rock phosphates, DAP ( diammonium phosphate ), zinc nutrient related - zinc ash, NPK fertilizers. Perhaps we may move into MOP and such others in the times to come.
