A recent study from Punjab has highlighted how a well-balanced combination of fertilisers can significantly improve soil health and sustainability in agriculture.
Conducted by scientists and reported by The Indian Express, the study suggests that an intelligent mix of organic and chemical fertilisers, not excessive reliance on either, can help maintain soil fertility, reduce degradation, and ensure long-term productivity.
With Punjab facing rising concerns over soil exhaustion due to intensive farming and overuse of urea and other chemical inputs, the research provides a timely and science-backed roadmap for corrective action.
Experts involved in the study said this integrated fertiliser strategy not only preserves essential nutrients in the soil but also reduces the ecological footprint of farming.
