The document discusses causes of declining agricultural productivity in India and proposes an eco-friendly fertilizer solution. Agricultural land is being converted to residential and industrial uses, and commercial tree planting is replacing food crops. Chemical fertilizers degrade soil over time. Most Indian farmers rely on agriculture but are unaware of new technologies. A proposed solution uses cattle waste and biowaste in a fermentation tank to produce organic manure piped to farms, providing nutrients to increase yields sustainably.

2. CAUSES OF DECLINE IN
AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIVITY
 WITH THE EXPLOSION IN HUMAN POPULATION THE
AGRICULTURAL LAND HAS GRADUALLY BEEN CONVERTED
INTO RESIDENTIAL AND INDUSTRIAL AREAS.
 THE CURRENT PRACTICE OF PLANTING COMMERCIAL
VARIETIES OF TREES ON AGRICULTURAL LAND INSTEAD OF
GROWING FOOD CROPS IS LEADING TO SERIOUS LOSSES TO
AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIVITY.
 THE AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION WAS TO BE BOOSTED UP BY
SYNTHETIC CHEMICAL FERTILIZERS AND APPLICATIONS OF
PESTICIDES, FUNGICIDES AND HERBICIDES; CAUSES
PERMANENT LOSSES IN FURTHER PRODUCTIVITY OF
AGRICULTURE BY CAUSING DEGRADATION OF LANDS.

3. DISTRIBUTION OF FARM LAND TO FARMERS

4. SEEKING SOLUTION
 FROM THIS WE COME TO KNOW THAT MOST OF THE INDAIN
FARMERSARE DEPENDENT ON AGRICULTURE.
 THOSE ARE STILL UNAWARE OF THE POLICIES MADE BY INDAIN
GOVERNMENT.
 THE FARMERSARE TOTALLY UNAWARE OF THE GMOs,
TRANSGENIC PLANTS, ETC
 HENCE THE SOLUTION LIES IN THE QUESTION.
 FARMERSARE BEING PRACTICING TADITIONAL TECHNIQUES.
 THIS IS THE TIME TO CONTINUE IT WITH MODIFICATION.
 ABOUT 50-60%FARMERS HAVE COMPLEMENTARY BUSINESS OF
ANIMAL HUSBANDRY AND DAIRY FARMING.

5. ECO-FRIENDLY FERTILISER

6. ECO-FRIENDLY FERTILIZER
 THIS IS THE PROPOSED SOLUTION FOR ECO-
FRIENDLY FERTILIZER.
 SINCE FARMERS WITH DAIRY FARMING CAN USE
THIS TECHNOLOGY OF ECO-FRIENDLY FERTILIZER.
 THIS MODEL OF ECO-FRIENDLY CONISTS OF A
FERMENTER TANK, WATER TANK AND CATTLE

7.  THE WASTE PRODUCED BY CATTLES AND BIOWASTE IS FEED TO
THE FERMENTERTANK IN ADDITION OF WATER FROM WATER
TANK AND THEREBY MIXING IT.
 THE MIXING OF WATER FASTENS THE REACTIONS.
 THE MIXTURE OF THE BIOWASTE IS THEN PROCESSEDWITH THE
BIOCHEMICAL REACTIONS.
 THE BIOWASTE IS KEPT FOR THE FERMENTATION THAT WOULD
CONVERT IT INTO AN ORGANIC MANURE.

8.  THIS MANURE IS SUPPLIED TO THE FARM LAND THROUGH THE
PIPELINES.
 AFTER THE MANURE IS PROVIDED, WATER IS SUPPLIED.
 SINCE THIS IS AN NONPOLLUTING SOLUTION THIS WOULD HELP
THE FARMERS TO GAIN THE PROSPERITY THROUGH A
TRADITIONAL WAY.

9. Nutrient concentration in cattle manure
COMPONENTS SOLID BEEF MANURE
(Lb/tonne)
COMMERCIAL
FERTILIZER
(Lb/tonne)
Nitrogen (N) 7-36 1030
Phosphorous (P) 2-6 500
Potassium (K) 7-17 1160
Sulphur (S) 1-3 540

10. ADVANTAGES
 INCREASING THE NPK VALUE.
 INCREASING AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIVITY THEREBY
‘SOWING PROSPERITY’
 SINCE CATTLE MANURE HAS GOT MOST OF NUTRIENTS
REQUIRED FOR PLANT GROWTH THIS METHOD HELPS IN
MAINTAING THE SOIL FERTILITY, pH, QUALITY OF SOIL AND
NUTRITIVE VALUE.
 IT ALSO HELP TO MAINTAN PH.

11. ALSO SOME METHODES FOR INCREASING PRODUCTIVITY.
SOIL TEST
USING BIOFERTILIZER OVER CHEMICEL FERTILIZER.
REMOTE SENSING.
PLANT BREEDING
