Damage to soil and crop due to excess moisture after heavy rains

Damage to soil and crop due to excess moisture after heavy rains
  • Water is the source of life, but too much of it kills. During heavy rains and floods, people and surrounding flora and fauna are also affected by it.

  • If there is no proper drainage in the field, excessive moisture after heavy rain in the soil creates a high possibility of fungal diseases and bacterial diseases in the soil. Along with this, due to excess moisture, the outbreak of insects in the soil is very high.

  • Soil erodes after excessive rain, due to which there is a lack of nutrients in the soil.

  • If we talk about the crop, then the yellowing of the crops, the curling of the leaves, the premature wilting of the crop, the fall of the fruits in the immature stage, the irregular shape of the spots on the fruits, is due to excess moisture.

  • The deficiency of nutrients in the crop greatly affects crop production.

Why single super phosphate a boon for agriculture

Why single super phosphate a boon for agriculture
  • Single Super Phosphate (SSP) will prove to be a boon for agriculture to get more yield at a lower cost. Farmers can now use SSP instead of DAP fertilizer. 

  • Single Super Phosphate is a phosphorus fertilizer containing 16% phosphorus, 11% sulfur and 21% calcium. The granular SSP also contains zinc and boron as trace elements. Due to the sulfur available in it, this fertilizer is more beneficial for oilseeds and pulses than other fertilizers.

  • Sulfur is available in SSP which increases the oil content in oilseed crops like mustard crops and protein content in pulse crops like gram, mung, urad etc. Due to this, farmers should use as much as possible Single superphosphate. In Rabi season, by using an SSP in mustard and gram, you can get more yield at less cost.

  • Why should the farmer buy SSP – SSP fertilizer is cheaper than DAP and is easily available in the market. 23 kg of Phosphorus and 9 kg of Nitrogen is found in DAP per bag. If 3 bags of SSP and 1 bag of urea are used as an alternative to DAP, then more Nitrogen and Phosphorus can be obtained at an even lower cost. Apart from this, the crop also does not have to add sulfur and calcium separately, which reduces the cost of cropping.
