Ujwala or Ujjwala Urea is a chemical fertilizer – these are white round pill-shaped and contain 46% nitrogen. They are suitable or can be applied to any type of soil or crop and are highly water-soluble. Generally, they are applied in 2-3 phases during the process of sowing, broadcasting, or spraying. Owing to its properties, this fertilizer is hugely popular with farmers and is available across India.
Suphala 15:15:15 or S15 is a complex, granular, natural-colored fertilizer. It is used as a plant nutrient and is made by mixing equal amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potash. These nutrient granules are homogeneous and keep the nutrients in exact proportion. The heavy density of these granules does not cause dispersion by wind or water and can be easily applied by seed drill.
Sujala 19:19:19 is available under 2 types: foliar grade (sprayed) and drip grade (dripped during irrigation). These are highly water-soluble fertilizers with 3 major plant nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potash. They are also rich in secondary nutrients like sulfur and magnesium. Sujala saves fertilizer cost by 30-40% and also increases yield by 20-40%. It arrests and prevents deterioration of soil texture, complexion, and mechanical damage of the crops. Application varies with crop type, irrigation type, weather conditions, stage etc. it can be applied during tilling, flowering, fruit setting, fruit maturity, pruning, and picking.
Main advantages of Sujala drip grade are -
- It seeps directly to the root with water
- It is salt free
- It has a long shelf life
- It helps in maintenance of air, moisture, and nutrients at the root region
Main advantages of Sujala foliar grade are -
- It is highly water soluble
- It is the best for crops like paddy, wheat, and pulses
- Its application process saves costs
- It increases crop yield
- It can be mixed and applied along with pesticides
- It has a long shelf life
Microla -
- Helps in healthy and disease free balanced growth
- Produces high-quality yield
- Enhances the efficiency of major plant nutrients
- Increases the disease resistance
- Helps improves the quality, size, color and taste of the seed grain, flowers, leaves and fruits
- Aids high yield of crops like cereals, oilseeds, pulses, fruit trees, vegetables, flowers, tea, coffee, sugarcane, and cotton
Biola (PSB) – is a multi purpose bio-fertilizer – it forms a solution with fixed phosphorus in the soil which is helpful for the plant's growth. It helps in the faster growth of soil bacteria which in turn help in improving the texture and structure of the soil. Further, this also helps in the growth of the crops and also induces resistance against various pests and diseases.
Main advantages of Biola are -
- Helps in easy and early seed germination
- Helps to decrease the pH balance of the soil
- Dissolve the fixed phosphorous for the crop
- Helps in easy and early root development
- Increases the efficiency of the roots system
- Increases crop yield
- Reduces costs
