SHELL Project - Contribution to lowering GHG emissions from 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.
