AGRICULTURAL CHEMICALS (PLANT GROWTH PROMOTER AND PLANT GROWTH REGULATOR)

[EIRI/EDPR/1096] J.C: 9740

INTRODUCTION

The increasing pressure of population on the available land resources, necessitates higher agricultural productivity, which can be achieved through more intensive use of fertilizer nutrients. Fertilizer is generally defined as any material (organic or inorganic; natural or synthetic) which supplies one or more of the essential chemical elements to the plants. Broadly, sixteen elements have been identified as necessary for plant growth, of which nine are required in macro quantities and seven in micro quantities. 

The primary and secondary nutrients are required in 'macro quantities'. 'Primary nutrients' include nitrogen(N), phosphorus(P) and potassium(K). Indian soils are deficient in nitrogen and phosphorus. Hence, chemical fertilizers are used to meet the deficiency of these elements. For example, ammonium sulphate, ammonium chloride, ammonium nitrate, calcium ammonium nitrate,urea, etc are a source of nitrogen. Calcium(C), magnesium (Mg) and sulphur(S) are called 'secondary nutrients' and are required for plant growth in relatively smaller quantities than the primary nutrients. But, any deficiency of the secondary nutrients reduces the efficiency of primary nutrient by restricting the yield to low levels. Therefore, to obtain optimum results, crops have to be supplied with secondary nutrient in addition to primary nutrients. Iron, zinc, manganese, copper, boron, molybdenum and chlorine are a group of 'micronutrients' which are required by the plants in small quantities. Intensive cropping deplete all nutrients including micronutrients from the soil at a fast rate. Therefore selective use of micronutrients is necessary for increasing agricultural production. This can be possible by the use of Plant Growth Promoters and Plant Growth Regulators.

Among the major concerns in today's world are the pollution and contamination of soil by excessive and injudicious use of agrochemicals, as well as their detrimental effects to humans a burden borne, in particular, by agricultural workers and rural communities worldwide. Compelled to respond to concerns on both health and environmental grounds, governments all over the world are now switching from 'risk reduction' and 'safe use' procedures, to developing more environment-friendly alternatives of sustainable agricultural production such as the use of bio-fertilizers and bio-pesticides.
