The company has developed the organic fertilizer
called Phosphate Rich Organic Manure (PROM) by using high grade rock
phosphate with farm yard waste and other organic matter. The field
trials conducted through the different agricultural universities in
the country have shown that the agronomic efficacy of this new
P-fertilizer is higher than that of the complex phosphatic
fertilizers available in the market today. ‘PROM’ is suitable to
neutral and alkaline soils, which will prove to be a boon to the
Indian farmers. In the long run, this product will be a winner as it
has significant price advantage vis-à-vis the other chemical
fertilizers. Commercialization of the PROM technology will help
utilization of waste and also help in conservation of the mineral
rock phosphate as PROM shows good residual effect.
The company has put a major thrust on the R&D
activities in the recent past and several new R&D projects have been
taken up.
-
Research project taken up for development of
fused Ca-Mg phosphate to utilize the vast reserves of low-grade ore
of rock phosphate.
-
Converting tailing rejects of IBP to Direct
Application Fertilizer for Magnesium deficient soils.
-
Research project taken up for possible commercial
production of Bio-Diesel from Jetropha plant.
-
Beneficiation of low grade gypsum for producing
high grade 80% + material for cement industry.
-
R&D efforts on apatite mineral to be used in
jewelry and decoration. (moving towards value added product)
-
Company has started a Training and Consultancy
Center at Jaipur, Rajasthan.
