Importance of Seaweed in Crops
  • The use of amino acids and seaweed can accelerate seed germination.
  • It has a special effect on the root development of the crop,
  • Depending on the adequate supply of nutrients, seaweed and amino acids grow in plant height, stem diameter, leaf number, etc.
  •  high production and crop improvement
  • Helps in the conservation of natural elements present in the soil.
  • Helps in controlling the ratio of carbon and nitrogen by microorganisms
  •  By balancing the process of nutrient decomposition.

Monsoon effect: 104% increase in cotton sowing with pulses, oilseed crops

This year, the monsoon has knocked on the scheduled time and most of the states have also received good rains. Due to this good monsoon, at the present time, the sowing of various crops has reached 87 percent, which is much higher than last year.

If we talk about Central India, then there has been more than normal monsoon rainfall due to which farmers have sown soybean crops on a large scale. Due to so much sowing of soybean, the area under cultivation has increased five times compared to last year. Apart from this, India is also the most important exporter of rice and cotton, and both of them have been sown well for its good crop.

Importance of Organic Carbon in soil testing
  • Soil organic/organic carbon (SOC) is the most important component in maintaining soil quality,
  • It plays its role in improving the physical, chemical and biological properties of the soil.
  • Higher soil organic carbon improves the physical structure of the soil more and more.
  • It improves soil aeration (oxygen in the soil) and water drainage and retention, and reduces soil erosion and nutrient depletion.
  • Supporters in the development of microorganisms like earthworms  and beneficial fungi and bacteria.
  • Carbon is the main component of soil organic matter and it helps in providing soil with its water holding capacity, its structure and its fertility.

Use of humic acid in organic farming

11/07/2020Posted on
  • Humic acid is a mineral produced from the mine. In general language, can be called soil conditioner. Which increases the fertility of barren land. Improves soil structure and gives it a new lease of life.
  • Its most important function is to make the soil brittle so that the roots can grow more.
  • This accelerates the action of light synthesis, which leads to greenness in the plant and growth of branches.
  • Develops tertiary roots of plants so that the absorption of nutrients from the soil can be increased.
  • Increases the fertility of the soil by increasing the metabolic activities of plants.
  • It is helpful in increasing the yield of the crop by increasing the fruits and flowers in the plants.
  • Increases seed germination capacity and protect plants from adverse environments.
