Pointing out that the Agriculture Department is focused on preserving the fertility of the soil for the future generations, he expressed his concern over the rapid decline in soil fertility due to excessive and unchecked use of chemical fertilizers in farming.
"Excessive use of chemical fertilizers will adversely affect the soil pH and lead to degradation of soil health", he added.
Stressing on the need to integrate scientific technology in agriculture, he shared that Nano Urea is cost-effective and required in low quantities.
"The most critical benefit of using Nano Urea for agriculture is its minimal impact on the environment.
This will result in reducing the release of greenhouse gasses and improve the quality of air and water", he added.
Ak Chitarajan further asserted that Nano Urea is a nanotechnology-based fertilizer that enhances the growth of crops by replenishing their nitrogen requirements.
In the technical session, resource person Th Ramakanta delivered a lecture on the topic, "Use of Nano Urea in crop production" .
Later, Nano Urea and plant vitamins were distributed to the farmers participating in the training programme.
