Challenges in Island Farming and Siesto Green products Solution -
Agriculture on islands can be economically challenging due to high import costs of conventional fertilizers and fluctuating market prices for crops:
- Siesto Green Bio fertilizers offer substantial cost savings (40%-50% compared to chemical fertilizers) and reduced handling costs. This affordability makes farming more economically viable by lowering input costs and improving overall crop yield and quality.
- Reduced logistical challenges due to encapsulated technology as it is light in weight
- 1 capsule = 1 Gram weight
- 1 Capsule = 1 acre of land
- 1 capsule = 20-25 kg of chemical urea powder.
Increase in Storage cost of Conventional fertilizers:
- The Encapsulated Bio fertilizer does not require more storage space due to its compact size.
Nutrient Deficiency in Island Soil:
- Encapsulated Bio fertilizers are designed to release nutrients over time, ensuring a steady supply of essential nutrients to crops. This helps in overcoming nutrient deficiencies common in island soils without relying heavily on synthetic fertilizers.
Chemical Fertilizers affect the Bio Diversity and Ecosystem health:
- Using Biofertilizers supports biodiversity by fostering healthy soil microbial communities. This contributes to overall ecosystem health, promoting natural pest control and reducing the need for chemical interventions that can harm local flora and fauna.
