the patent. Ramesh Raliya has extensive experience with agricultural research and fertilizers and his discovery of Nano-nitrogen is likely to be one of his most glorious achievements so far and a need of the hour.
Several countries in recent times have put restrictions on farmers on the use of fertilizer from the Netherlands to Commonwealth nations such Canada and Sri lanka in an attempt to switch to organic farming however critics including pro-organic farming activists have questioned the timing of the policies as there are restrictions in food production across the globe and with rising inflation also leading to a food crisis.
The toxic chemical properties of current chemical fertilizers and pesticides have brought about a series of detrimental effects such as health issues and environmental pollutants, however the instant switching to organic farming may not be practical as the microorganism’s within the soil which sustain growth are usually destroyed with the use of chemical fertilizer and could take some time to switch to an organic model. Ramesh Raliya is currently looking at alternative methods in developing fertilizer that do not cause environmental destruction.
The Nano-nitrogen fertilizer has been tested according to Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) guidelines of the biodiversity in India which shows a lot of promise and a possible solution to the global food crisis which could possibly address both the environmental considerations and the current economic crisis.
