Camson Biotechnologies files patent for natural fertiliser

Camson Biotechnologies Limited, an integrated research driven agricultural biotechnology company, has filed patents for its discovery of Natural Fertilizer, a product which is derived from microbial extracts. “Being a clean technology it also addresses the concerns about the toxicity, safety and the environment issues facing the world,” said the company, which claims that Natural Fertilizer has the capacity to replace synthetic fertiliser throughout the world.
 
Camson has filed the patents for the manufacture of NPK (nitrogen, phosphorous and potash) product.
 
“The efficacy of this Natural Fertilizer is at par with any synthetic chemical used by the farmers currently. Camson has the capabilities to manufacture this in large commercial quantities for meeting the increasing global demand without polluting the environment (or ecosystem). This fertiliser is made from microbes available within the environment (eg, soil, water, air) and the derivation is absolutely natural, hence, when applied it leaves zero residue in soil,” said Camson in a press release.
 
Natural Fertilizer, which is water soluble, 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 fertilisers.
 
Commenting on the development, Santosh Nair, CEO, Camson Biotechnologies Limited, said, “We continue to be the pioneer in the field of innovation and organic farming. It will be extremely helpful to the agri-input industry which is overly dependent on imported synthetic water soluble fertilisers (NPK). Our joy is manifold as we have the capacity of making any combination of NPK depending on the soil type. These products will also be economically competitive in the market place. Our water soluble Natural Fertilizer has been tested and found to be very effective as compared to synthetic water soluble fertiliser as per the data received from DRR, Hyderabad and MPKV, Rahuri (Maharashtra).”
 
Dhirendra Kumar, managing director and chief scientific officer, Camson Biotechnologies Limited, added, “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 fertilisers.”
