Description
Plant Nutri Pellet provides nutrient for a crop for it full cycle. i.e for 3 months
Nutri Pellet Pack Technique is a new development in Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry,Normally fertilizers are broadcasted in crop fields and straight fertilizers are mostly used as the source of nutrients. Under surface application the fertilizer use efficiency is low. In this situation Nutri Pellet Pack technique helps in improving the fertilizer use efficiency and yield. Each Nutri Pellet Pack contains, enriched manure in the middle and encapsulated fertilizer at bottom. By placing a Nutri Pellet Pack vertically or horizontally in soil, each plant can be established. Nutri pellet Pack gives support for each plant in the root zone in terms of optimum nutrient supply, biological activity, release of pesticide, etc. and consequently enables the fullest utilization of nutrients by plants. There is no wastage of fertilizer nutrients with Nutri pellet Packs.Farmers need not know or learn whatfertilizers to buy, how much to use, when to apply, etc. After placing Nutri Pellet Packs farmers only have to irrigate the field for getting expected yields.
Average land holding of Indian farmers is 2 hectares. Field operations are begun mostly at the start of season or at the time of supply of water from dams. Employment of agricultural labourers at the same point of time by many . Under these circumstances, the ready made method like Nutri Pellet Pack would help farmers to take up sowing immediately. After the placement of Nutri Pellet Packs in soil . Nutri pellet Pack technique has been well tested in research trials and demonstration plots in crops like maize, rice, cotton, cauliflower, carnation and marigold and found to record more yield and profit over the conventional broadcast method of fertilizer application.
Nowadays labour scarcity in villages prevails particularly at start of crop season. This delays timely sowing of seeds, fertilizer application, etc. In crop production, fertilizers are costly input. Improper, delayed and broadcast applications of fertilizers are major reasons for the reduction in the yield of crops. If deep placement can be advocated by Nutri Pellet Pack technique for saving the fertilizer and labour, then it can be welcomed by farmers for adoption.
Advantages
- For crops raised by seeds or by seedlings, the ‘Nutri Pellet Pack’ Containing bio inoculants, manure,fertilizer are simultaneously placed in soil in a single stroke.
- Fertilizer nutrients are given to crops at required amount throughout crop season. No top dressing is required.
- Soil nutrients are not removed substantially bythe crop and hence suitable for all soil types.
- Weed growth is reduced in between planted rows, since fertilizers are within crop root zone.
- Bioinoculants help crop in N fixation, P mobilization and biocontrol of soil bornepathogens.
- Enrichment of manure pellet with pesticidecontrols stem borer, leaf miner, etc at early stage of crop.
- Suitable for drip irrigation too. Fertigation equipments not required.
