Training cum Demonstration on CRRI biofertilizer model to farming community of Odisha was organized at Satyabhamapur village, Salipur block of Cuttack district on 18.02.2025 under the project Jaiva-poshak (ଜୈବ-ପୋଷକ). Dr. Upendra Kumar, Senior Scientist of ICAR-CRRI, Cuttack, is the Principal Investigator of this innovative project.

Horticulture Officer of Cuttack district were the external resource persons present in the program. Dr. Dilip Sarangi focussed on improving soil health by the application of NRRI-biofertilizers i.e; NRRI EndoN & NRRI EndoNPK which can compensate the chemical fertilizer requirement by 25%, thereby decreasing the input costs on agriculture, sustaining soil and environmental health without compromising yield. Sri Chandra Mohan Chand focussed on the importance and need for applications of Trichoderma and Rhizobium in pulse crops to improve yield and to sustain soil health. Smt. Swagatika Sahoo emphasized on the prospects of applications of NRRI-biofertilizers in various vegetable crops and demonstrated application of NRRI-liquid biofertilizers in seedling treatment of tomato, chillies and brinjal. The objectives of the project Jaiva-poshak (ଜୈବ-ପୋଷକ) and demonstration of the NRRI-Tech Decomposer by decomposition of rice straw into valuable compost along with cow dung and urea was elaborated and explained by the project staff. Around 93 farmers and farmwomen have actively participated and benefitted from this program. This program was felicitated by the project staff of Jaiva-poshak (ଜୈବ-ପୋଷକ).
