The future is now

'Sustainable agriculture practices involve the application of environment-friendly plant growth promoters and additives that do not negatively impact the health of the ecosystem. Stringent regulatory frameworks restricting the use of synthetic agrochemicals and the increase in demand for organically grown crops have paved the way for the development of novel bio-based plant growth promoters. In this context, microalgae biomass and derived agrochemicals offer novel sources of plant growth promotors that enhance crop productivity and impart disease resistance.' Our agronomists do offer a full & integrated range of biostimulants, including derived from microalgae. Solutions for all crops. https://lnkd.in/dgq4e5UK #biostimulants #microalgae #cropprotection #sustainableagriculture

NFMF & SAVPL signed MoU for FOM promotion Northern Farmers is pleased to announce its collaboration with Sampurn Agri Ventures to promote and distribute Fermented Organic Manure (FOM) among farmers. This association aims to address pressing challenges in North India, including air pollution being caused by stubble burning, deteriorating soil health and declining agricultural productivity, while giving a boost to sustainable practices with a focus on crop residue management through using chemical free Fermented Organic Manure(FOM). #Soilhealth #FOM #Biosolutions #Farmercollectives #Organicmanure #FPO #Sustainable #biomanure #agriculture #cropresidue

Is #Biochar the Solution? You can ask the same question about #Compost, #Mulching, or #Bio-#amendments. 🌿 In the ongoing quest for #sustainable #agriculture, biochar has emerged as a promising tool. Derived from biomass through #pyrolysis, biochar is touted for its ability to enhance soil health and boost #crop #yields. But is biochar the ultimate solution to the challenges faced by modern agriculture? The answer is complex. While biochar is a valuable component, it is not a standalone #solution. Rather, it should be integrated into a broader strategy of #organic #soil management. ✋🏻The #Limitations of Biochar Alone 🌵 Biochar's benefits are well-documented. It improves soil structure, increases #water retention, and enhances #nutrient availability. However, relying solely on biochar to transform agricultural productivity is unrealistic. Biochar, while beneficial, cannot match the immediate and potent effects of #chemical #fertilizers. Chemical fertilizers deliver a quick and concentrated nutrient boost that biochar alone cannot replicate. 🙏🏻 A Holistic Approach to Soil Health 🌾 The key to #sustainable agriculture lies in building a resilient soil #ecosystem. This involves layering various organic solutions to create a synergistic effect. Here’s how: #Compost adds organic matter and nutrients to the soil. #Cover Crops like legumes or clover improve soil health by adding organic matter, fixing nitrogen, and preventing erosion. #Mulching helps retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and add organic matter as it decomposes. Crop Rotation manages soil nutrients and breaks pest and disease cycles. #Biochar improves soil structure and increases its capacity to retain water and nutrients. When these practices are combined, the result is a robust and resilient soil ecosystem. Biochar is indeed a valuable tool in the arsenal of sustainable agriculture, but it is not a silver bullet. Its true potential is realized when used in conjunction with other #organic practices. By building soil layers with compost, cover crops, mulch, and biochar, farmers can create a sustainable and productive agricultural system. This holistic approach not only enhances #crop #yields but also promotes #long-term soil health, ensuring a resilient and sustainable future for agriculture. 😅 In summary, biochar is a piece of the puzzle. 🎰 👩🏻🌾 This photo is part of my experiment.

#Organicfarming practices cultivate #soilhealth and fertility-no synthetic shortcuts allowed. Enter biochar: a soil superhero that boosts structure, retains water, and enhances nutrient flow. This treasure makes it a top pick for organic growers craving #sustainablesolutions. In harmony with organic farming ideals, biochar is rapidly catching on among producers. Plus, organic farming has gained a green reputation, thanks to its lower carbon footprint and reduced fossil fuel dependency. Glad to share this press release which motivates us as an organisation involved in #biocharproduction- 'Biochar Market Size To Worth USD 6.3 Billion by 2033 | CAGR of 10.9%' https://lnkd.in/dGPUhaEK Tafadzwa Dutoit Nyamande Nando Knodel Tim Künzel CarbonConnect GmbH Zimbabwe Carbon Association (ZCA) Nicholas de Swardt Rumbidzai Takawira
