SINGLE SUPER PHOSPHATE

Image
  🌾 SSP (Single Super Phosphate) – An Essential Nutrient for Paddy Cultivation Rice farming is one of the most important pillars of Indian agriculture. To achieve higher yields, a balanced supply of nutrients is essential. SSP (Single Super Phosphate) is a vital phosphatic fertilizer that not only provides phosphorus, but also enriches the soil with sulphur (S) and calcium (Ca) — three key elements for healthy paddy growth. 🌱 Composition of SSP ✅Phosphorus (P₂O₅): 16% ✅Sulphur (S): 12% ✅Calcium (Ca): 20% This unique combination supports strong root establishment and healthy early growth in paddy crops. 🌿 Major Benefits of SSP in Paddy ✨ Promotes Strong Roots : Phosphorus helps in better root development and strong seedling establishment. ✨ Improves Tillering : Ensures more productive tillers and uniform crop growth. ✨ Enhances Grain Formation : Aids in panicle initiation and grain filling for higher yields. ✨ Improves Soil Fertility : Sulphur and calcium enhance soil structure ...

AGRICULTURE AND WATER

Image
🌾 Agriculture and Water: A Call for Sustainable Use Agriculture is the backbone of human survival — it feeds billions and sustains rural livelihoods. But did you know that nearly 72% of the world’s freshwater is consumed by agriculture? While this highlights the importance of farming, it also reveals a major challenge — around one-third of all food produced globally is wasted or lost. This means a significant portion of our freshwater is used to grow food that never gets eaten. 💧 Why It Matters Water is a limited and shared resource. As populations grow and climate change intensifies, the pressure on freshwater availability will continue to rise. If current practices remain unchanged, future generations may face severe water and food shortages. 🌱 The Way Forward Sustainable agriculture offers practical solutions to reduce both water use and food waste: ✨ Efficient irrigation systems (like drip and sprinkler) can save up to 50% of water. ✨ Precision farming helps deliver water and n...

EAST KOLKATA WETLANDS

Image
🌿 East Kolkata Wetlands — Kolkata’s Natural Eco-Engine Hidden on the eastern edge of Kolkata lies one of the world’s most remarkable ecosystems — the East Kolkata Wetlands (EKW). Often called the “Kidneys of Kolkata,” these wetlands quietly sustain the city every day by naturally recycling its wastewater and supporting local livelihoods. 💧 Nature’s Own Wastewater Treatment System The East Kolkata Wetlands are the world’s largest natural wastewater treatment system, covering nearly 12,500 hectares. Every day, they recycle around 900 million litres of sewage from the city — using only natural processes involving sunlight, aquatic plants, algae, and microorganisms. This purified water then supports fish cultivation, vegetable farming, and irrigation, creating an extraordinary cycle where urban waste becomes rural wealth. 🐟 A Living Source of Livelihood More than 50,000 people directly depend on these wetlands for their income. Fisherfolk, farmers, and local communities work together ...

NANO DAP
