Facts for Liquid Biofertiliser

By Dr. Umesh Chandra Mishra

Facts for Liquid Biofertiliser is for all those who can help to undertake the greatest communication challenge of all the challenges of empowering far to use todays knowledge to protect todays soil fertility and tomorrows India and developing world in the new millennium. Every year, a million hectares of land degrades in the developing world, due to degradation of soil health and lower fertility status. A fundamental cause of this tragedy is lack of awareness. Todays knowledge about protecting the health and fertility of soil has not been put at the disposal of majority of the farmers. Today, there is a worldwide (100) scientific consensus on soil health information. It is the information, which can help to save the million hectares of soil from excess use of chemical fertilizer in the developing world in eco-friendly way. It is information, which can drastically reduce the import of raw materials for chemical fertilizers and help to protect the interest of small and marginal farmers efficiently, cost effectively and economical way. Facts for Liquid Biofertiliser is therefore intended for all those who influence or control the principal channels of communication challenge to all head of agricultural universities, colleges, liquid biofertiliser producers, mass, and social media.

Biofertiliser

The health of soil in the developing world could be dramatically improved if all farmers empowered with today’s essential liquid biofertilisers information. That information has now been brought together in FACTS FOR LIQUID BIOFERTILISER in the 67th year of independence of India and 43 years after the term "Green Revolution" which fed the India, was coined, when we entering into second decade of 21st century - new millennium.

Around 170 organizations in 24 countries are engaged in commercial production of liquid biofertilizers. NifTAL (U.S.A) has played a major role in the popularization of Rhizobium inoculants as biofertilser. The international Nitrogen Initiative (INI) was set up to optimise the benefits of nitrogen while minimising its harmful side effects. The Scientific Committee On Problems of the Environments (SCOPE) and International Geo sphere-Biosphere Programmes (IGBP) ultimately become the sponsors of such new initiatives.

A liquid biofertilizer is a liquid formulation containing the dormant form of desire microorganism and their nutrients along with the substance that encourage formation of resting spores or cyst for longer shelf life and tolerance to adverse conditions. The dormant farm reaching the soil, germinate to produce fresh batch of active cells, These cells grow and multiply by utilsing the carbon source in the soil.

Facts for liquid biofertiliser narrates key challenges and opportunities in the farmer inputs field in the next coming years for developing an appropriate and road map to articulate role of liquid biofertilser in shaping the future of soils health.

F ACTS FOR LIQUID BIOFERTILISER is challenge to communicators of all kinds - agriculturist, extension staff, biofertiliser’s producers, agricultural universities, all Krishi Kendra’s, voluntary organisations, mass and social media. It is for all those who can help to make its contents part of every farmer’s basic liquid biofertiliser knowledge at affordable price.

Turning farmers aspiration into achievements and growing in harmony with environment.
