The Situation

With the introduction of fertilizer’s and concentrated
inorganic salts, the farmers were able to increase
their productivity but on the flip side their
dependence on these external elements has
increased to alarming proportions. Overuse of these
inputs has led to increased cost of production,
decreased soil fertility and water levels, not to
mention the severe damages being caused to the
environment all across the globe. Governments all
over are asking the farmer community to find a right
balance on the use of such inputs, which are playing
havoc with the environment.
The result on the environment of such a situation is
visible all over the world and the internet is full of
stories of the problems being faced by such
environmental imbalances. Everywhere
governments are asking farmers to have proper,
responsible fertilizer and chemical management.
This will help to reduce the negative impact of
excess, uncontrolled use of inorganic elements on
soil, surrounding environment and the ecology.

Repeated and indiscriminate use of inorganic salts

have led to severe compaction of the soil, as a result
the excess water does not permeate through the
soil to be added to the ground water level, but gets
drained into the water canals, rivers and seas. The
soils ability to act as a reserve of nutrients and
water has reduced considerably.

Compaction of the soil also leads to reduced air

volume and reduced exchange of gases in the soil.
Aerated soils assures high oxygen content in the
soil, this helps in the breakdown and decomposition
processes by the living micro-organism which are
present in a healthy soil. The micro biological
organisms which enrich the soil with their life cycle
is not able to survive in a compact soil. All these
factors affect the fertility of the soil and further
increases the farmer’s dependence on these salts. All these factors are contributing to the
degeneration of the soil and increasing the problems

The Options
Inorganic Fertilisers
An Inorganic fertiliser is a compound or mixture
(collection of ingredients) of salts. The introduction
of chemical fertilisers in the early to mid-20th
century helped in the green revolution, it was is in
many ways responsible for the massive increase in
global food production.
Any plant requires very little quantities of each
element during its growth cycle, what’s left over
tends to precipitate into the soil and groundwater,
the leaching occurs due to rain or irrigation. This
pollutes the natural environment still is the cause of
a great number of environment problems.
Chemical fertilisers do not improve soil structure or
add organic matter to the soil. In fact, as they are
composed of high concentrations of mineral salts,
they are capable of killing off many of the soil
organisms that are responsible for decomposition,
and soil formation. If only chemicals are added, the
soil gradually loses its organic matter and micro
biotic activity. As this material is used up, the soil
structure breaks down, becoming lifeless, compacts
and loses its ability to hold water and nutrients. This
results in the increased use of fertilizers to get the
same amount or better yield.

Many inorganic fertilisers may not replace trace

mineral elements in the soil, which become
gradually depleted by crops. Studies have shown
depletion of nutrients in soil and produced product,
ranging a marked fall (up to 75%) in the quantities of
such minerals, present in fruit and vegetables.

Over-fertilization of a vital nutrient can be as

detrimental as well as under fertilisation. "Fertiliser
burn" can occur when too much fertiliser is applied,
resulting in drying of the roots and damage or even
death of the plant.

Bio Fertilisers
Bio fertilisers are made from plant and animal
sources. These materials need to be broken down by
microbes in order for their nutrients to be released,
and that takes time. Because these fertilisers
works slowly, it provides long-term nutrition and
steady, rather than excessive growth.
Bio fertilisers differ from Inorganic, they feed plants
while building the soil's structure. Soils with lots of
organic material, remain loose and airy, are better
able to hold moisture and nutrients, fosters growth
of soil organisms, including earthworms, and
promote healthier root development. Building a
healthy soil is the key to successful farming.
One benefit of using organic fertilisers is an
increase in the biological activities in the soil. Bio
fertilisers also re-emphasize the role of humus
and other organic components of soil, which are
believed to play several important roles:
/ Mobilizing existing soil nutrients, so that good
growth is achieved with lower nutrient density
while wasting less water and nutrients.
Organic fertilisers have the
following disadvantages:
A mild source of nutrients when compared to
inorganic fertilisers, handling and transporting large
amount of fertiliser will incur high costs, especially
with slurry and manure.
The composition of Bio fertilisers tends to be more
complex and inconsistent than a standardized
inorganic product.
Improperly-processed organic fertilisers may contain
pathogens from plant or animal matter that are
harmful to humans or plants. However, proper
composting removes these and as such one has to
be very sure of the process of composting is not
under or over done as in both the cases the
application might not give the desired effect.
Composting organic fertilizers needs a lot of space,
labour and constant supervision to ensure the
compost is ready to apply on the soil at the right
time

/ Releasing nutrients at a slower, more consistent

rate, helping to avoid a boom-and-bust pattern.

/ Helping to retain soil moisture, reducing the

stress due to temporary moisture stress.

/ Improving the soil structure.

/ Helps to prevent topsoil erosion.

/ Bio fertilisers also have the advantage of

avoiding certain problems associated with the
regular use of Inorganic fertilisers.

OrganiXXgro
There are many micro nutrient fertilisers available in
the market, ingredient wise they all contain some or
all the elements required by the plants in micro
quantity.
Now the question is, why is OrganiXXgro different
and what are its advantages over other micro
nutrient fertilisers? The answer to this question is –
this all depends on the chemical structure (bonding)
and how the materials are balanced, as these factors
makes the biggest difference.
To clarify this point in layman terms, most of the
organic micronutrients contain Potassium (K),
Carbon (C) and Nitrogen (N). On the other hand
Potassium Cyanide also consists of these three
elements. But the results of both these compounds
are totally different and it is not correct to assume
that both these compounds will have the same
effect on plants or human beings.
Chemically two material containing same
constituents does not result into same effect. The
deciding factor is, which chemical bonding is holding
these materials together and along with this the
other important factor is how these chemicals
interact, especially on application.
Similarly OrganiXXgro, is totally different from the
other available micronutrient fertilisers in the terms
of the Base Material, Chemical Bonding and on
application, the reaction with the plant.
The base material, used for chelation is bio organic.
The Phenolic and Amino Acid legend in this base
material forms the chelation with micro elements
(Zinc, Copper, Iron, Manganese, Magnesium).
Naturally extracted legends facilitates rapid
absorption, translocation and are easily metabolized
within the plant, similarly to other small nitrogen
containing molecules. All micro elements of
OrganiXXgro are completely soluble in water,
consequently, they are easily and readily available
for absorption by the plants on application.
The leaves of most plants, as well as primary cell
walls serve as a barrier against the absorption of
free metal ions. Metals completely chelated with
amino acids in OrganiXXgro are neutral in charge.
Thus they are neither attracted to nor repulsed from
negatively charged surfaces of the leaf. They,
therefore freely pass through this primary cell wall
barrier and 100% material are utilized by the plant
for growth in foliar application. This form of
application, though labour intensive is best suited in
case of urgent remedial measures.
OrganiXXgro does not contain any plant hormones.
On releasing the micro element, the organic base
material converts into Tryptophan, which in turn
works as a catalyst to produce Auxin within the
plant. The amount of Auxin produced is governed by
the “Liebig's law of the minimum”, resulting into
controlled and regulated production of hormone by
the plant. There is no external hormone being given
to the plant, the plant is made healthy to a point that
it becomes self-sufficient to produce, in sufficient
quantities all hormones required for its growth.
