“Balanced fertilizer use is key to Atmanirbharta.” Dr. M.L. Jat stressed soil test-based use, AI-led precision farming, crop diversification & bio-fertilizers to cut imports and boost sustainability. #ICAR #BalancedFertilization Shivraj Singh Chouhan PIB India Agriculture INDIA

🌱 Crop Rotation = Smart Fertilizer Use Grow different crops in sequence on the same field—boost soil fertility (15–25%), cut pests, save water & reduce input costs. Legumes add 65–120 kg/ha nutrients naturally. Result? Better yield, healthier soil, higher profits. Indian Council of Agricultural Research.

On International Mother Earth Day, #ICAR commits to scientific, need-based fertilizer use—right dose, right time, right balance—to protect soil health & ensure sustainable agriculture 𝗡𝘂𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗵. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗻𝘂𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝗹. Shivraj Singh Chouhan
