India is an agricultural country, with 80% of the population Lives in rural areas. Land is the main source of livelihood The means of farming and animal husbandry are Indian culture The oldest is the beginning of farming by primitive man The river bank was 1000 years ago when someone Chemical fertilizer was not discovered. All According to the Puranas, Ramayana, Mahabharata, Brihad Samhita, Rigveda, Yajurveda, Organic farming in tree-Ayurveda and Natural fertilizer is mentioned.
The first chemical fertilizer factory in India was set up at Ranipet in 19056. Then after independence the use of chemical fertilizers increased and at the same time the agricultural production in the country also increased and India became self-sufficient in the field. But a lot of energy is used behind the production and distribution of these chemical fertilizers, which are based on conventional sources like mineral oil, napkins etc. In addition excessive use of chemical fertilizers increases soil acidity and hardens the soil. Only 30-40% of nitrogenous fertilizer crop works. The rest is blown into the air, sank deeper or disintegrated. Thus expensive fertilizers are wasted and farming costs increase. In these circumstances, organic farming is the only option that can be called natural sustainable farming. In such organic farming the contribution of less expensive innocent organisms like organic fertilizers, organic fertilizers, vermi compost is invaluable, by adopting which uniform production can be achieved by maintaining the health of the soil.
The current chemical farming is junior farming. In short, the history of chemical fertilizers is only 100-160 years old. While organic farming, which has been practiced in India for thousands of years, is the best farming in the true sense of the word.
We have not used chemical fertilizers evenly to get higher yields, which has resulted in imbalance in soil fertility. We do not supply back to the land as much as the required elements are used from the land for farm production. As a result the fertility of the soil decreases on a universal basis. One of the main reasons for this is why the use of chemical fertilizers is not economically viable for the common farmer, as well as it is difficult for the country to produce the required amount of chemical fertilizers.
Even conscious citizens in today’s era Demand for farm products other than chemicals That is why chemical fertilizers and The use of pesticides in agriculture is declining worldwide The population is constantly growing. Today we have 600 We have reached a human population of crores. If this way The world's population will continue to grow in the summer Possibility to reach the magic mark of 1000 crores Limited arable land due to population explosion There is a lot of pressure on our country today 0.14 ha per head. Less land is available. We need more food, clothing, fuel, and more Raw materials will be required. Our research over the last few years, The availability of infrastructural facilities as well as government policies have increased the production of each crop. Yet that is not enough. More of chemical fertilizer Falling use requires control.
The need for chemical fertilizers in India and
Production Estimates (Million Tons)
Seeing all this to increase the fertility of the soil And only chemical to provide nutrients to the crop It is difficult to rely on compost Economically viable chemical fertilizers It must be used with organic manure The above mentioned phenomenon can be fulfilled by use. Today the rampant use of chemical fertilizers To protect the land when it is happening It is especially important to use organic manure 28-30% of plants from urea fertilizer applied in soil Can only use nitrogen and 15-16% phosphorus The rest of the chemical fertilizer is washed away Or freezes in the soil. Thus nitrogen, Consumption of phosphorus as well as potash Nitrogen consumption is very high The highest of all. According to the findings of the last decade Through various crops we get 250 lakh tons of total nutrients
Elements (NPK) pull from the ground. Its Only 150 lakh tons of nutrients are chemical Return via fertilizer. Thus 100 Add millions of tons of nutrients to the soil Looking. Organic as a supplement to agriculture in these circumstances Recycling of elements and various types of organic This reduction can be met with the use of fertilizers 75 percent of the country's farmers are small and marginal 18% of farmers have less than one hectare of land While 54.6% have only 1-2 hectares of land The recommended amount of chemical to these farmers It is difficult to buy and use fertilizer Farmers to get maximum yield of their crops Get rid of it without thinking of chemical fertilizer options no. To provide financial support to the farmers as well as theirs From their limited land to raise the standard of living It is necessary to get more product at lower cost
Organic manure is an ideal system in the same situation.
Limitations of chemical fertilizers:
- Continuous use increases soil acidity.
- The environment suffers in the long run.
- Only 28 of nitrogenous chemical fertilizers Up to 30% of the crop is working. The rest is in the soil Fly I get down, I get washed away by the rain As it flies in the air or disintegrates Farming costs increase.
