The Odisha University of Agriculture and Technology (OUAT) has ventured into producing liquid nitrogen biofertilizers, an alternative to the unsustainable and expensive biofertilizers that were more in circulation.
Soubhagya Manjari Samantaray, the project’s principal investigator and assistant professor of microbiology at OUAT’s College of Basic Sciences and Humanities stated that they had started the commercial production a few days ago. He further added, “We had received an order from Krishi Vigyan Kendras across the state and accordingly produced around 500 liters of liquid biofertilizers in the past two days.”
Accordingly, the biofertilizer has a shelf life of one year and helps in yield output. The professor elaborated on the mechanism, stating that the farmers would have to add around four liters of water in 500 ml of biofertilizers and soak 10-15kg seeds in the prepared solution. The seeds need to be soaked for about 20 minutes.
Currently, the biofertilizer is being sold at a significantly lower price of Rs. 230 as against the market cost of Rs. 430.
