Water Quality
Water: The Heartbeat of Indian Agriculture
Water is undeniably the backbone of agriculture in India, serving as a vital resource that sustains the nation’s vast and varied agricultural landscape. From the potato farms of the Pacific Northwest to the citrus orchards in Maharashtra, from the corn and bean fields of the Midwest to the rice paddies of Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and the southern states, water binds these diverse agricultural practices together. Its availability influences the production of a wide array of crops that fuel not only India’s population but also contribute significantly to global food systems.
To guarantee these necessities, practices are evolving to ensure the protection of our food supply. Fertilizer application that is unprotected with a stabilizer opens the door for greater probability of leaching into the groundwater wasting resources and changing water quality.
That’s where products like vedagrow & performer come in to help do more with less. By giving farmers, the tools to be profitable stewards of the land, we’re all a small part of both protecting their investment and preserving the nation’s water quality.
With verdesian technologies, farmers have options like bactoveda, vedagro ,carborrhiza , performer use next-gen technology to keep more nitrogen in the root zone longer, allowing plants to absorb the nutrients they need, instead of running off into a ditch.
Of course, vedatma doesn’t – and can’t – do this alone. We are proud to be a 4rs nutrient stewardship partner. The 4rs is a framework around using the right fertilizer source at the right rate, at the right time and in the right place. The result? Increased production, increased farmer profitability, enhanced environmental protection and improved sustainability. Those are things we can all be proud of.
Soil Health
First, let’s clear up a misconception.
Soil is not dirt.
Soil is a complex ecosystem that has to (must) be maintained in order to be optimized. It is the literal foundation for any of the crops that we grow. It is our job to help maximize the output from the soil while maintaining its critical characteristics for the future.
Vedatma Agro Industries offers Vedalizer & Carborrhiza NEXT-GEN of solutions focused on just that: unlocking that potential of the soil.
Biologicals (ST&I)- Some crops, especially legumes, can benefit from bacteria that form nodules on the roots plants and convert nitrogen from air into nitrogen compounds that the plant can use. Bradyrhizobium japonicum (B. japonicum) bacteria, for instance, is used in commercial soybean inoculants, Bactoveda These bacteria form a symbiotic relationship with a soybean plant.
Because of different modes of action, the use of biologicals can also be a crucial element when it comes to resistance management. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies knit together biological, genetic and chemical crop protection products to utilize those multiple modes of action. This, in turn, progresses toward a sustainable resistance management practice.
Time is a major resource in agriculture, but, let’s be honest, growers rarely have enough of it. Biologicals can assist that problem, believe it or not. Many biologicals offer spray timing flexibility due to short re-entry and pre-harvest intervals (PHIs), or the wait time between application and harvest. A shorter window allows both harvest and shipping schedules to be better maintained. That’s not only good for the food supply chain, but for the grower’s stress level and bottom line.
Since biologicals are, well, “bio”-based, they aren’t prone to hanging around in the soil “past their welcome.” They degrade rapidly, which reduces the risk of exposure. Because of this, biological products tend to be exempted from Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs).
Vedatma offers products that assist in healthy soils. Micronutrient products, such as Veda zinc, Veda mg , Veda Mn Micronutrients, can help with soil deficiency in some secondary nutrients, while our stabilizer products Life , octopus , help lock soil in the soil profile, thus making sure the proper nutrients get taken up by the plant.
These, all, are good for long-term soil health.
Vedagrow and Rooter Gold are powerful bio stimulants designed to enhance plant growth by promoting healthy root-to-shoot development. These products provide essential nutrients and bioactive compounds that improve plant vitality and overall performance.
Vedagrow and Rooter gold offer a holistic approach to plant nutrition, optimizing both root and shoot growth for healthier, more productive plants. Ideal for gardeners and farmers alike, these bio stimulants ensure maximum plant growth potential and higher yields.
Carborrhiza is a unique form of carbon that plays a crucial role in enhancing plant growth. It contains activated carbon, which is produced using proprietary Generation Next technology. This technology transforms organic matter into activated carbon, providing plants with a highly effective source of carbon. The addition of Carborrhiza to soil improves soil quality, increases nutrient availability, and promotes healthier root development, ultimately leading to more robust and thriving plants. This innovative form of carbon offers significant benefits to agriculture and gardening by optimizing plant growth and overall productivity.
In recent years, the demand for enhanced nutritional supplements has skyrocketed, with consumers looking for more efficient, bioavailable, and powerful solutions to optimize their health.
