Nitrogenous (N) fertilizer input into agricultural systems is considered the major source of N2O emissions from agricultural soils. Tomato ranks third & Onion ranks second in priority after potato in India with 0.865Mha & 1.2Mha area under cultivation respectively and 11% & 19% share of world production respectively.

MAL introduced Crop specific and Stage Specific Customized WSF Grades along with complete nutrition solution in the brand â€œSOLUTEKâ€ in 2020-21 for Grapes, Tomato, Pomegranate, Onion & Banana after 3 years of extensive multilocation in-house trials & validation through SAUs/ICAR Institutes. Under these Solutek fertigation solutions, 80% nutrients go through Customized Water-Soluble Crop & Stage Specific Fertigation Grades and 20 % nutrients goes through soil applied Enhanced Efficiency Fertilizers boosted with Nutrient Unlock Technology (NUT) which are mentioned as below:

Fertigation Customized Water-Soluble Grades:

Solutek Tomato : (Grade-1:17:14:09+TE, Grade-2:13:12:19+TE & Grade-3:09:08:28+TE)

Solutek Onion : (Grade-1:17:14:09+TE, Grade-2:06:34:17+TE & 9:8:28TE

As per 3 year study (2020-21,2021-22 & 2022-23) at IIHR, Bangalore & one year study at IARI, New Delhi; Solutek Solution increased 23 % yield & 11% lycopene content along with 62 % saving of nitrogen over IIHRâ€™s RDF while 39 % increase in yield, 6% fruit firmness,7% TSS & 33 % reduction in N2O emission against IARI, New Delhi RDF (150:60:60). One year study on Solutek Onion is completed & it was recorded that 45% increase in Yield & 37% saving in N2O emission against RDF of IARI, PUSA New Delhi & it may be due significant saving of N i.e. 43% ( IARI RDF-N-100kg/Ha vs MAL-N-57 kg/Ha).There is significant improvement in Soil Health parameters (pH, EC & post-harvest soil Nutrient status) against RDF in both the cases. MALâ€™s inhouse trials conducted between 2019-20 to 23 & recorded 40% increase in yield, other quality as well as soil health parameters over farmer practice.
