In this series, the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas is now preparing to launch a scheme that will create cheaper and cleaner fuels. This fuel will be produced from five thousand compressed biogas plants and the central government will invest a big amount of Rs 2 lakh crore to invest in these plants. In this plant fuel will be produced from bio and crop residues.

This scheme will also provide cheaper fuel to farmers as well as other business areas of the country. Especially due to cheaper fuel for farmers, agricultural expenditure will be reduced and income will increase. Union Petroleum Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has signed an MoU related to this subject, saying that ‘there is immense potential in the field of fuels produced from bio and crop residues. So farmers are also going to benefit greatly from crop residue. “

Importance of magnesium for plants
  • Magnesium plays an important role in the food production process of plants and it is the major element behind greenness of the leaves. Magnesium (Mg) also plays an important role in many enzyme activities in plants and development of  plant tissues.  
  • The average amount of magnesium in the soil is 0.5 – 40 g / kg, but at present, the amount of magnesium in most soils is found to be 0.3 – 25 g / kg.  
  • The first signs of magnesium deficiency appear on the old leaves below, the veins of the leaves get dark colored and the middle part of the veins becomes yellowish red.  
  • Deficiency of nitrogen in the soil increases magnesium deficiency.
  • While preparing the field, mix 10 kg/acre  of magnesium sulfate (9.5%) in the soil thoroughly with basal dose .  
  • To cure magnesium deficiency, make a solution of magnesium sulfate at the rate of 250 g / acre and spray it on the leaves twice weekly.
