Nutrient addition through agrl wastes 2.0 mt
Nutrient addition through other sources 1.0 mt

37. What will happened in 2025?
The Projected food grain production would remove about
40 mt of NPK by 2025. Therefore, the gap between NPK
consumption and removal may increase which may a
potential threat to the soil quality and sustainable
agriculture. To balance the gap, the present contribution of
organic inputs towards nutrient additions has to increase
considerably.
51. The percentage of cases, where the nutrient
deficiency is greater than 50%, which may have
provided any appreciable financial gain to the
producer/trader- the extent of such samples is
only 11%.
A further closer examination reveals that among
the samples having a nutrient deficiency of
greater than 50%, two groups-Micro Nutrient
Fertilizer Mixture (MNFM) and Zn-EDTA had the
maximum deficiency , 66% and 57% respectively,
indicating serious problems with these fertilizers.
52. About 75% of the sub standard samples are
found having nutrient deficiency or termed as
‘adulterated’ after testing. Only about a fourth
was classified as substandard on account of
technical or physical deficiencies.
The analysis of the individual records shows that
more than half of the sub-standard and/ or
‘adulterated samples in fact had a deficiency
level of less than 10% of specified nutrient
contents.The economic gains to the
producer/trader from such a low level of
‘adulteration’ , looks implausible.
54. The penalties prescribed under section 7 of the ECA,
1955 are
Imprisonment can be ordered from 3 months to 7
years with fine under Section 7 (i) (a) (ii)
Making any false information is punishable with
upto 5 years imprisonment
Fertilizer stock and its receptacle can be forfeited
under Section 7 (i) (ii)
The FCO offences are treated as cognizable and
non-bailable offences under Section 10A
55. All offences are to be tried by the Courts of 1st
Class Magistrate only and imprisonment of upto
2 years with fine can be imposed.
The authorization letter of dealers can be
suspended/cancelled or the dealers debarred
under clause 31 of FCO and no fresh
authorization to the dealer can be issued within
one year of the cancellation of their
Authirization Letter or if the dealer has been
convicted by court, the fresh authorization
cannot be issued for upto 3 years.
