2nd November 2023, Mumbai
Dr. S. K. Shukla, Director, ICAR-Central Institute for Research on Cotton Technology, Mumbai signed the Memorandum of Understanding with M/s. Forecast Agrotech Innovations Pvt. Ltd., Pune for the development of a Nano formulation of rock phosphate for making phosphate-rich organic manure (PROM) and to carry out the required field trials.
The main objective of this MoU is to use nanotechnological intervention to enhance the efficacy of rock phosphate.
Rock Phosphate is the key raw material for DAP and NPK fertilisers and India is 90% dependent on imports. ICAR-CIRCOT, having two decades of experience in the field of nanotechnology, stepped into a collaboration to enhance the efficacy of rock phosphate by size reduction and the use of microbial inoculum.
The innovators of the technology, Dr. A.K. Bharimalla, Dr. N. Vigneshwaran, Dr. M.K. Mahawar, Dr. Jyoti Dhakane-Lad, Dr. Sharmila Patil and Dr. Sujata Saxena were present during the signing of the MoU ceremony.
