Camson Bio Technologies Limited, India's first integrated IPR driven agricultural biotechnology company (referred to as “Camson” or the “Company”), has filed patents for its discovery of Natural Fertilizer, a product which is derived from microbial extracts. This is a breakthrough step wherein Natural Fertilizer has the capacity to replace synthetic fertilizer throughout the world. Being a clean technology it also addresses the concerns about the toxicity, safety and the environment issues facing the world. Camson has filed the following patents for the manufacture of NPK (Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Potash):
1. 2826/CHE/2015 titled “Phosphorus Fertilizer composition and method of producing the same by microbial fermentation technology”
2. 2827/CHE/2015 titled “Nitrogen Fertilizer composition and method of producing the same by microbial fermentation technology”
3. 2828/CHE/2015 title “Potassium Fertilizer composition and method of producing the same by microbial fermentation technology”
Camson has the capabilities to manufacture this in large commercial quantities for meeting the increasing global demand without polluting the environment (or ecosystem). This fertilizer is made from microbes available within the environment (e.g. soil, water, air) and the derivation is absolutely natural, hence, when applied it leaves zero residue in soil. This Natural Fertilizer is water soluble and can easily be supplied through drip irrigation. Furthermore, it does not harm the soil topography and is completely safe for perpetual use by the farmers. This product will encourage healthy farming practise on a global level. Eventually, on a macro level, this product/technology can help the Indian government save a significant amount spent on subsidy for import and sale of chemical fertilizers.
Commenting on the development, Mr. Dhirendra Kumar, Managing Director and Chief Scientific Officer, Camson Bio Technologies Limited said: “The unique method to produce NPK through the microbial route is a yet another testimony to Camson’s R&D prowess. The Government of India’s continuous support for the ‘Make in India’ campaign will provide the necessary fillip to the growth of these revolutionary Natural fertilizers.”
