All About the Agri-Ball
AGRI-BALL BEING A 100% ORGANIC, CHEMICAL FREE, NON-TOXIC & BIO-DEGRADABLE INPUT THAT OFFERS SEVERAL BENEFITS TO FARMERS :
1. Why should farmers use it in their crops?
Water Retention: It can absorb and retain substantial amounts of water, which it releases slowly over time, ensuring crops have consistent moisture.
Improved Crop Yield: Enhanced water availability can lead to healthier plants and potentially higher yields.
Environmental Sustainability: As an organic product, it is eco-friendly and helps in sustainable farming practices.
Reduction in Irrigation Frequency: Farmers can reduce the frequency of watering, saving time, labor, and water resources.
Soil Health: It improves soil structure and aeration, promoting root growth and microbial activity.
Scientific Validation: The product has been rigorously tested and validated by prestigious institutions such as ICAR in India and Ryukyu Agriculture University in Japan. These endorsements assure farmers of its effectiveness and reliability.
Certified Organic: With certification from Ecocert, Agri-Ball is guaranteed to be 100% organic, ensuring no harmful chemicals are introduced into the farming ecosystem. This supports sustainable agriculture and helps maintain soil health.
2. How many times it is used; frequency and period?
Agri-Ball is applied once at the time of sowing. This timing ensures that the hydrogel is integrated into the soil right from the start, providing maximum benefit to the germinating seeds and young plants.
Effective Period: Agri-Ball remains active in the soil for 5-6 months after application. During this period, it absorbs and gradually releases water, maintaining optimal moisture levels for the crops.
Degradation Timeline: After the initial 5-6 months, the begins to degrade. It is fully biodegradable and will completely break down within one year. This ensures that no residues are left in the soil, maintaining its organic and eco-friendly credentials.
3. How does it help in crop yield/growth and soil respectively?
Consistent Moisture Supply: By maintaining soil moisture levels, Agri-Ball helps reduce water stress on plants, leading to robust growth and potentially higher yields.
Nutrient Efficiency: It helps in better absorption of nutrients by roots, enhancing overall plant health and productivity.
(a) Soil Health:
Soil Structure: The Agri-Ball improves soil porosity and aeration, facilitating better root penetration and growth.
Microbial Activity: The organic nature of the Agri-Ball promotes a healthy soil ecosystem, boosting microbial activity which is beneficial for soil fertility.
4. What is the cost-benefit for farmers?
a) Water Savings: By reducing the need for frequent irrigation, farmers save on water costs.
b) Labor Savings: Less frequent watering means reduced labor costs associated with irrigation.
c) Increased Yield: Higher and more reliable crop yields can lead to increased revenue.
d) Reduced Input Costs: Better soil health and nutrient uptake can reduce the need for additional fertilizers.
e) Overall ROI: The initial cost of applying Agri-Ball is offset by the savings and increased income from higher yields and reduced resource inputs.
5. How it will perform in high temperature?
Enhanced Water Retention: In high temperatures, the hydrogel’s ability to retain and gradually release water is crucial, preventing crop dehydration and stress.
Temperature Mitigation: By maintaining consistent moisture levels, it helps mitigate the effects of high temperatures on plants.
6. What quantity of Agri-Ball is needed in consecutive seasons?
According to our various testing trials and Observations, Agri-Ball should be used in the same quantity for at least three consecutive seasons. This consistency ensures that the soil maintains optimal moisture levels and supports robust crop growth through these periods.
By maintaining a consistent application rate for the first three seasons, farmers can maximize the benefits of Agri-Ball. Subsequently, a slight reduction in quantity can be considered, optimizing both resource use and cost efficiency
