“Soil Sanjeevini : New generation Fertilizer for Sustain future forming”

Total cost of the proposal: 5,60,000/-

Stage: Development of Prototype to Product.

 Ours is an agricultural Country with 16% of GDP and nearly 48% of the population in India are
dependent on agriculture and related fields for employment.
• In this big sector the primary produces are usually doing to gain more
income they are Indiscriminately using large quantities of fertilizers, Trends in fertiliser consumption (N, P and K) in India

pesticides to increase production, diseases control resulting farming cost

increased. poor quality of products with pesticide residues, nutritional
values are not at the expected level, some time unhealthy to consume
and causes adverse effects not only human, soil too

• In recent years the global farmers are turned into traditional organic
farming, The developing countries are interesting vision of becoming a
fully organic nation, Some countries has already pioneered in organic
farming and farmers generating more income. Pesticide Consumption over the years in India

• Globally India Ranks 9th In Organic Farming and state Sikkim had been
declared by government as the only Indian state with 100 per cent organic
farming.
• In organic farming and other best agricultural practice the manures and
bio-fertilizers had huge demand and the availability of the organic
Manures and bio-fertilizers are at 0.6% only but required organic fertilizers
market is 11.9 % (CAGR), Which is having large demand. At gross-root level
the farmers are using unclassified manures with unwanted microbes and
lot of impurities.
In the present project we are tying to Enrichment of Soil Global organic farming

condition with Microbial Population by the application

of Biofertilizers Entrapped with Organic manures which
can enrich soil fertility, crop productivity and cost
affectivity in a sustainable manner.
Present problem:

• In general due to Urbanization and Industrialization agriculture grass cropped area

(58.90 Lakh ha. (2011-2012) from 66.32 Lakh ha. in1990-91 ) is reduced and the farmers
are adopting high yielding varieties and using fertilizers, Pesticides to get the high yield
which lead to more cost effective cultivation.
• Due to poor understand / Lack of knowledge about the soil structure and Nutritional
requirements of the crop farmers are applying excess quantity of chemical fertilizers,
Pesticides etc., These activity went to High pressure on soil and unwanted waste
materials, non-degradable pollutants, chemical fertilizers, Pesticides, plastic materials
reduces the soil fertility, pH and Nutritional structure of the soil. Finally shows impact on
ecosystem by Soil, Air and water pollution.
• In Advance agriculture practice a selective group of farmers using Organic fertilizers and
Biofertilizers to improve the soil structure and adopting the organic farming. But the
availability of these resources are very mere and the production is time taking process.

• In view of the above demand and quality of the organic fertilizer, we are focused on
locally available agro-waste materials, vegetable market waste, animal and other
organic materials to convert in to value added compost and cheap natural binders are
using to entrap the bio fertilizing consortium. The cost can be brought down,
affordable to the farmers .
 Advantages of the Organic fertilizer
• Organic fertilizers play a very significant role in improving soil fertility by
adding nutrients through the natural processes and stimulating the plant
growth through the synthesis of growth-promoting substances in the soil.

• The bio-fertilizers promotes the nitrogen fixation, solubilizing phosphorus, and

other nutrients to enrich the humus of the soil through naturally available
biological system of nutrient mobilization. The organic Biofertilizers has made
huge demand in agricultural practice in the place of chemical fertilizers but the
production is time taking.

• Hence, we are focusing to Enrichment of Soil condition with Microbial

Population by the application Biofertilizers Entrapped with Organic manures
which can enrich soil fertility, crop productivity and cost affectivity in a
sustainable manner.
The present study focused on prototype development

• We demonstrates that organic matrix is a better

carrier to enrich soil fertility, crop productivity and
cost affectivity in a sustainable manner.
• It provides a good home for microbes being rich in
organic matter and water holding capacity and can
hold nutrients fixed/mobilized by the microbes for
longer time to make it available for sustained
uptake and assimilation by the plants.
• By using local agro-waste materials and cheap
natural binders, the cost can be brought down,
affordable to the farmers,
• Eco-friendly
Innovative Technology: Decomposing and Entrapment of Biofertilizers in the product:
• The process of biodegradation of organic matter into compost requires larger time nearly
8-12 months in natural process. In this project we made an innovation to decrease the
time lapse for decomposition by understanding the microbial organism’s metabolic or
enzymatic processes for transform of organic substance into manure.
• The Biofertilizers Entrapped with Organic manures facilitates the availability of NPK and
other nutrients in soil and directly promotes the crop production and maintained the soil
health.
Focused Advantage of product:
• Our Organic fertilizer Soil Sanjeevini (SS) can improve 20% and 40% fertility. organic matter
to the soil and increases the water holding capacity.
• The composition of organic solids in the SS fertilizer improves the soil pH and structure and
promotes the root growth. Food supply is provided and growth of microorganisms and
beneficial soil worms is encouraged.
• Our SS product can mobilize nutrients that favor the development of biological activities in
soils, biological fertilizer with high proportions of nitrogen (N) and potassium (K), medium
proportions of calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P), and low proportion of magnesium (Mg) and
sulfur (S). It allows getting favorable effects on physicochemical stability of soils, plants
growth, and development of beneficial microbial populations.
• This product can maintenance of plant health is enhanced by the addition of balanced
nutrients.
• Help to eliminate plantar diseases and provide continuous supply of micronutrients to
plant and improves the yield up to 30-40%
• Contribute to the maintenance of stable nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) concentrations.
Available at low cost
Objectives:
• Collection of Organic materials: bio degradable organic materials viz., organic agriculture waste, Cow
Dung, Poultry litter, Coco peat, ash, straw and Market yard vegetable waste etc., and segregation of
decomposing organic solid wastes .
• Application of microbial consortium (Aerobic Bacteria and Fungal strains) for synergistic degradation
action of complex organic compound to smaller nutrient molecules.

• Composting process can reduce toxic substances, pathogens and distract the unwanted seeds and weeds
and converts into manure.
• Entrapment of manure with selected Biofertilizers to increase the inorganic nutrients availability in Soil.
Collection of locally available Adhesives for preparation of pellets and granules of organic fertilizer.

Significance of our Organic Matrix entrapped
cost effective and eco friendly fertilizers

Organic entrapment provides a nutritive and

porous carrier to microbes for rich growth and
slow release of nutrients fixed or solubilized by
the microbes. The soluble chemical fertilizers
are also entrapped for slow release and longer
availability. This interventions can increase the
availability of nutrients and minimize the losses
due to leaching, volatilization or emissions.
