ORGANIC FERTILIZERS

NEEM CAKE

Neem oil, extracted through the cold-pressing of neem tree parts, is a pure form derived from neem tree fruits and seed kernels, serving as a by-product or de-oiled residue.

Acts as a barrier against nematodes, soil grubs, and termites.
Produces organic acids during decomposition, reducing soil alkalinity and ensuring microbial compatibility.
Improves organic matter content, texture, water-holding capacity, and aeration for better root development.
Neem cake has an adequate quantity of NPK in organic form for plant growth. It contains 5.2% nitrogen (N), 1.0% phosphorus (P), and 1.4% potassium (K) and other essential micro nutrients.
The presence of sulphur compounds and bitter limonoids for comprehensive conditioning of soil.

VERMI FERTILIZER

Transforming organic wastes like vegetable scraps, cow dung, and coconut husks by adding also earthworms into nutrient-rich worm castings, these worm castings are a treasure trove of essential nutrients, including high levels of nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, calcium, and magnesium. Beyond nutrient richness, earthworm castings improve soil structure, enhance drainage, boost moisture retention, and promote efficient aeration. With remarkable water-holding capabilities, absorbing nearly nine times their weight in water, worm castings contribute to maintaining optimal soil moisture levels, even in challenging conditions. Vermicomposting, often known as "vermi-conversion," utilizes earthworms to turn organic waste into valuable soil additives, gaining momentum in sustainable agriculture.

It enriches it with these vital elements, promoting robust plant growth.
Improves soil structure by enhancing water retention, aeration, and drainage. It creates a soil environment conducive to strong root development and nutrient uptake by crops.
Vermi fertilizer reduces the need for synthetic chemical fertilizers and pesticides. This not only saves farmers costs but also contributes to environmentally friendly farming practices.
Crops grown in vermi-enriched soil often exhibit increased yields, better quality produce, and heightened resistance to diseases and pests.
The vermicomposting process involves recycling organic waste materials such as crop residues, kitchen scraps, and manure. It turns waste into valuable resources for agriculture.

NEEM OIL

Neem oil, extracted from Neem trees, contains Azadirachtin, a potent ingredient protecting plants from pests. Azadirachtin serves as a versatile shield, acting as a pesticide, fungicide, and miticide. It's a natural choice for farmers aiming to safeguard their crops. Neem oil's Liminoids, especially Azadirachtin, target insects' hormonal systems, not their nervous or digestive systems. This unique approach prevents insects from developing resistance, disrupting their growth and reproduction.

Enhances crop quality in organic farming.
Provides essential nutrients to crops organically.
Boosts overall crop productivity in organic farming.

CASTOR CAKE

Castor Oil Cake, commonly known as Castor Cake, emerges from the produced by crushing of castor seeds in expellers, extracting oil through steam. This organic marvel serves as a highly versatile natural manure, elevating soil fertility without inducing harm or decay. Enriched with vital elements - Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium - it becomes a powerhouse for fostering optimal crop growth.

Castor Oil Cake significantly improves soil fertility and productivity, creating an environment conducive to robust plant growth.
It acts as a natural shield, safeguarding plants from nematodes and termites, ensuring their health and vitality.
Improves in both yield and quality of farm produce.
It plays a pivotal role in enhancing the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the soil, ensuring a holistic improvement in soil health.
With inherent insecticidal properties, it serves as a natural pest repellent, contributing to the overall health and resilience of crops.

CASTOR POWDER

Castor powder is derived from the seeds of the castor plant. After extracting castor oil through processes like expeller pressing, the remaining solid residue is transformed into a fine powder. This serves as a valuable resource in sustainable agriculture.

Castor Cake is an excellent fertilizer due to its high content of Nitrogen (4-4.5%), Phosphoric Acid (2.55%), and Potash (1%), along with moisture retention.
It provides all the major and minor nutrients necessary for better plant growth.
The cake aids in increasing nutrient uptake by plants.
It contributes to improving soil fertility and productivity.
Known to protect plants from nematodes and termites.
It enhances the yield and quality of farm produce.

SWARGASARA

Swargasara a cow dung based organic fertilizer being prepared at Gouswarga. It is produced from the dung of authentic indigenous cow breeds, is a manure which is used as fertilizer in agriculture. It improves the fertility of the soil by adding lots of nutrients, such as nitrogen that is trapped by bacteria in the soil. Higher organisms then feed on the fungi and bacteria in a chain of life.

Improves soil structure and quality because of its high organic matter content.
It increases the quantity of earthworms which in turn increases the fertility of the land naturally.
Being an environment friendly, pollution free natural fertilizer, it maintains the eco balance.
The biological substance used to produce this manure increases the useful minute organisms in the land.

PESTICIDES

Organic pesticides, derived from natural sources, offer a sustainable alternative to conventional chemical options. These pesticides harness the power of plant extracts, essential oils, and other organic compounds to protect crops from pests while minimizing environmental impact. By focusing on biological solutions, organic pesticides aim to control pests without compromising the health of the soil, water, or beneficial insects. This approach aligns with the principles of sustainable agriculture, providing effective pest management while promoting long-term environmental health and crop productivity.

EPN - ENTOMOPATHOGENIC NEMATODES

Entomopathogenic nematodes are tiny, soil-dwelling worms that play a crucial role in natural pest control. These nematodes are beneficial predators that parasitize and kill a variety of insect pests, making them valuable allies in agriculture and gardening. Entomopathogenic nematodes are natural predators of insects. They enter the body of their insect hosts, release bacteria that kill the host, and feed on the decomposing tissue.

Effective Pest Control: EPN biopesticides target a wide range of soil-dwelling pests, including larvae and insects like grubs, caterpillars, and beetles, reducing their population and minimizing crop damage.
Environmentally Friendly: EPN biopesticides are non-toxic to humans, animals, and beneficial insects, making them a safer alternative to chemical pesticides. They do not leave harmful residues in the environment.
Sustainable Farming: By using EPN biopesticides, farmers can adopt sustainable farming practices that minimize the reliance on synthetic pesticides, promoting ecosystem health and biodiversity in agricultural systems.

TRICHODERMA – FUNGAL PESTICIDE

Trichoderma stands as a potent biological solution for managing plant diseases, particularly those rooted in the soil. This naturally occurring fungus is a common inhabitant of soil and root ecosystems, showcasing remarkable adaptability in various plant environments. Its multifaceted approach to disease management includes mechanisms such as competition, antibiosis, mycoparasitism, hyphal interactions, and enzyme secretion. These strategies collectively reduce the growth, survival, and infection rates of pathogens, making Trichoderma a valuable ally in protecting plants from diseases. Trichoderma forms a protective alliance with plant roots. It acts as a physical barrier, thwarting the growth of pathogenic fungi that could otherwise harm the plant.

Trichoderma serves as a potent biocontrol agent, effectively combating soil-borne diseases caused by various pathogenic fungi.
Actively eliminates soil pathogens, contributing to healthier and disease-resistant plants.
It fosters robust root and shoot development in plants.
It helps plants develop resistance and tolerance to diseases and pests, further fortifying their overall health and vitality.
