Haryana: Green Ammonia Project launched in Kaithal

Kaithal, Nov 14 (UNI) Under the guidance of Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Kaithal, the Green Ammonia Project was launched in the district today.
The first demonstration plot under the project was installed in the field of Mahendra Singh, a national award-winning progressive farmer and former member of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research and associated with the Farmer First Project, in village Rasina. During this, farmers of villages Rasina and Sanch were informed about the working of the Green Ammonia technology and its benefits.
Informing farmers about the project's upcoming expansion, Dr. Jasbir Singh, a scientist at the Krishi Vigyan Kendra, said that amid the shortage of urea fertilizer and the increasing pressure of subsidies, this ambitious government scheme could prove to be a better option for farmers. He urged farmers to adopt green ammonia technology in their fields and see its results, so that they can benefit from green ammonia as an alternative nitrogen fertilizer in the future.
Dr. Amit Kumar, agronomist at the centre, explained that the main objective of this project is to increase the efficiency of nitrogen fertilizer use in fields. Typically, the use efficiency of urea fertilizer applied to crops through spraying is only 20 to 30 per cent. Therefore, it is recommended to apply urea to the soil in split doses.
He explained that in the Green Ammonia Project's demonstration plot, nitrogen was delivered deep into the soil, in the form of ammonia gas, using a special drilling technique. After two to three days, the ammonia will become bound to the soil particles. This will ensure continuous nitrogen availability to crops throughout the growing season, and fertilizer use efficiency is expected to increase to approximately 80 per cent.
Through this demonstration, farmers were given a practical understanding of the differences between traditional urea use and green ammonia technology. Farmers observed the demonstration plots set up on the farm and learned about this new technology from scientists.
