Awareness and demonstration of NRRI-liquid biofertilizers at Dhenkanal District
Benefits of adaptation and practice of NRRI-liquid biofertilizers in rice were demonstrated to the farmers at Kalada and Kirtanpur villages of Dhenkanal district on 09 August 2024. A total number of 45 farmers and the project staff have participated in this programme. The programme was coordinated by Dr. A.K. Mukherjee, who emphasized the importance of using Trichoderma during seed treatment to boost production. During the programme, progressive farmers shared their experiences with the application of eco-friendly natural manure, highlighting its advantages over chemical fertilizers. A practical demonstration of applying NRRI-Endo N, a liquid biofertilizer, was conducted in the farmers’ fields. Additionally, NRRI biofertilizer kits, including NRRI-Endo N and a user manual, were distributed to the farmers for use in their rice fields. This programme was facilitated by Dr. Sai Krishna Repalli, research associate under the project “Production, Popularization and Supply of Quality Bio-inoculants for Rice-based Cropping and Farming System of Odisha (Bio-ପୋଷକ)” funded by Department of Agriculture & Farmers Empowerment (DAFE), Odisha.
