Changing Nature
of
Agricultural Input
Management
HARD
Vs
SOFT
CHEMISTRY
Traditional Thought
• Enhance plant Yield by using direct
nutrients- Inorganic Fertilisers
• Kill the harmful pests- Weeds, Insects and
Diseases.
• Symptomatic and Direct association.
• The More the Merrier. Bang the plants and
soil. No thought for efficiency
• Zero concern for environment and human
health
Modern View
• Maximum Care for Environment- Maximise
production with minimum impact.
• Holistic Approach towards nutrition and
plant protection- achieving genetic
potential
– Elicitor Activity
– Combating Free Radicals
– Minimising Abiotic and Biotic Stress.
• Hard Chemistry only as a last resort.
Reduced Risk Pesticides in California.
• In 1996, 34% of all
pesticides registered
in California were
‘soft chemistry’.
• In 2003, 52% of all
pesticides registered
were “soft
chemistry”’.
• 2012 = 74%
Soft Chemistry Scenario In India
• Slow but steady Realisation that Fertilisers
and Pesticides are not enough
• Organic and Minimum Intervention
Agriculture
• Activism against Hard Chemistry
• Soft Chemistry Products loosely called as
BIO Products, or more appropriately Plant
Growth Promotors (PGP)
• Unorganised and Unscruplous ( Bucket)
Players
Hence the future lies
in
SOFT CHEMISTRY
Promotion of Soft Chemistry
Products
• TARGETED FIELD WORK
– Market Segmentation
– Positioning
– Demonstration
– Customised Communication
– Wide Publicity of results
• Convince the stakeholders-
– Channel Partners
– Progressive Farmers
– Scientists and Extension Workers
– Agricultutal Department. Officials
Challenges
• Market dominated by unscrupulous players-
Bio is the DIRTY word.
• Lack of Standardization of Most of the
products, specially the Marine Flora based.
• Difficult to Differentiate the product.
• No Regulatory or Registration framework of
these products, leading to harassment of
honest Players.
Approach towards Problem Solving
• Industry to self regulate itself and make it
mandatory to mentioned the source, contents,
and processing done on the product.
• Industry may represent to the government to
protest against the continous harrasment.
• University Trials of these products to establish
efficacy.
• Work on cellular level to establish efficacy.
• Scientific recording of efficacy of the product.
