Micronutrient Fertilizers
Technology Description
Technologies
for environment friendly micronutrient fertilizers. Water
insoluble, polymeric phosphate based compounds of zinc, iron,
manganese, copper, molybdenum and/or boron that can be produced
as single nutrient as well as multinutrient materials
The new fertilizers
provide highly effective sources of micronutrients that increase
crop yields by 20-40% with small applications, which are one-fourth
to one-tenth the normal dosages. They provide a non-polluting
and cost effective alternative for micronutrient fertilization
that is suitable for any soil or crop. They can substantially
increase productivity of crops like cereals, pulses and vegetables
and thereby improve economic conditions of the farmers.
