SHELL Project - Contribution to lowering GHG emissions from Agriculture

September 30, 2022

| Sustainable Agriculture

Developing Nano-Fertilizers and Mycorrhizal Biofertilizers to reduce the dose of chemical fertilizers by 25 to 50 per cent and supplementing the same with these innovative fertilizers. Shell India (Industry Partnership) is providing support for research and field trials on maize and direct seeded rice (DSR) for multiple seasons (Rabi and Kharif). Soil health is also being monitored (e.g. soil organic carbon and microbial population, etc.) in comparison with the recommended dose of fertilizers for developing suitable Package of Practices.

SHELL-TERI Strategic Research: Nano fertilizers and Mycorrhizal biofertilizers to develop Package of Practice by improving soil health and reducing GHG emission

September 5, 2022

| Sustainable Agriculture

Developing nano-fertilizers and mycorrhizal biofertilizers to reduce the dose of chemical fertilizers by 25 to 50 per cent and supplementing the same with these innovative fertilizers is the need of the hour. Shell India and TERI partnership aims to unveil complex genetic interactions involved in carbon and nitrogen metabolism during symbiotic associations to understand their role in establishing symbiosis, enhancing soil-organic carbon (SOC) and reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from arable land.
