(SHRI ARJUN MUNDA)

(a) : As such, there is no harmful effect of fertilizers on soil fertility, if applied in a balanced and  judicious  manner.  The  fertility  of  soil  is  lost  in  certain  situations  mainly  due  to  the imbalanced use of chemical fertilizers coupled with low use of organic manures.

Government  of  India  is  recommending  soil  test  based  balanced  and  integrated  nutrient management  through  conjunctive  use  of  both  inorganic  and  organic  sources  (manure, biofertilizers,  green  manuring, in-situ crop residue recycling etc.) of plant nutrients with  4Rs approach i.e right quantity, right time, right mode and right type of fertilizer for judicious use of chemical fertilizers and to reduce use of chemical fertilizers. In addition, split application, use of slow releasing fertilizers including neem coated urea and growing leguminous crops are also advocated.  Similarly,  The  Registration  Committee  (RC)  constituted  under  section  5  of  the Insecticide Act, 1968, registers the pesticides for use in the country after evaluation of their safety and efficacy. The registered pesticide do not pose any harm to human health if they are used as per the label leaflet approved by the Registration Committee.

(b) : The Government of India advocates the concept of use of fertiliser on soil test based recommendation. Government of India as such has not urged the farmers to reduce fertiliser and pesticide by 20 per cent.

(c): The percentage of chemical fertilizers used by farmers in various States across the country including Odisha during 2022-23 as compared to the corresponding period of the previous year is placed at Annexure I

(d) & (e): The Government of India is promoting the Biofertiliser, Organic Fertiliser as alternate source of nutrients.

The  Government of  India  is  implementing  various  schemes  in  order  to  promote  the  use  of organic fertilizers by the farmers, the details of the schemes are as under:

- (i) Market  Development  Assistance  (MDA)  to  Compressed  Bio  Gas  Plants  for  sale  of Fermented Organic Manure (FOM)/Liquid Fermented Organic Manure (LFOM) & Phosphate Rich Organic Manure (PROM): Based on the budget announcement and the recommendations of  the  Expenditure  Finance  Committee  (EFC),  the  Cabinet  Committee  on  Economic  Affairs (CCEA) in its meeting held on 28th June, 2023 approved the Market Development Assistance (MDA) to promote Organic Fertilizers. Support under MDA @₹ 1,500/MT which will be given only for the manure produced at plants under umbrella GOBARdhan initiative covering different Biogas/CBG  support  schemes/programmes  of  stakeholder  Ministries/Departments  such  as Sustainable  Alternative  Towards  Affordable  Transportation  (SATAT)  scheme  of  MoPNG, 'Waste to Energy' programme of MNRE, Swachh Bharat Mission (Grameen) of DDWS, etc. with total outlay of  ₹ 1,451.84 Crore (FY 2023-24 to 2025-26), which includes a corpus of ₹360 Crore  for research gap funding, etc.'

(ii) PM-PRANAM  Scheme:  The  Cabinet  Committee  on  Economic  Affairs  (CCEA)  in  its meeting held on 28th June, 2023 has approved the 'PM Programme for Restoration, Awareness Generation, Nourishment and Amelioration of Mother-Earth (PM-PRANAM)'. The initiative aims to  complement  the  efforts  initiated  by  States/UTs  to  save  the  health  of  Mother  Earth  by promoting sustainable and balanced use of fertilizers, adopting alternate fertilizers, promoting organic  farming  and  implementing  resource  conservation  technologies.  The  PM-PRANAM scheme is operational for a period of three years (FY 2023-24 to FY 2025-26).

Under the said scheme, 50% of the fertilizer subsidy saved by a State/UT in a particular financial year  by  way  of  reduction  in  consumption  of  chemical  fertilizers  (Urea,  DAP,  NPK,  MOP) compared to previous 3 years' average consumption, will be passed on to that State/UT as Grant.

These initiatives of the Government are expected to address the imbalanced use of chemical fertilizers thereby reducing chemical fertilizer use.

(iii) Parampragat Krishi Vikas Yojana (PKVY) and Mission Organic Value Chain development  in  North  East  Region  (MOVCDNER):  Government  of  India  is  implementing dedicated  schemes for promotion of organic farming in the country  viz. Parampragat Krishi Vikas Yojana (PKVY) and Mission Organic Value Chain Development in North East Region (MOVCDNER)  since  2015-16.  Under  these  schemes,  farmers  are  encouraged  to  take  up organic cultivation using organic inputs and the schemes provide end-to-end support to farmers i.e. from production to marketing of organic produce. Hands on training to farmers about onfarm production of organic fertilizers and its use are integral part of these schemes. Farmers are provided a subsidy of Rs 31000/ha/3years under PKVY and Rs. 32500/ha/3 years under MOVCDNER for various organic inputs. An amount of Rs 684.84 Crores has been earmarked for promotion of organic farming for the year 2023-24.

(iv) ICAR has developed improved and efficient strains of biofertilizers specific to different crops  and  soil  types  to  reduce  the  use  of  chemical  fertilizers  in  agricultural  production.   In addition, split application and placement of fertilizers, use of slow releasing N-fertilizers and nitrification inhibitors, growing leguminous crops and use of Resource Conservation Technologies (RCTs) are also advocated.  ICAR also imparts trainings to different stakeholders, organizes front-line demonstrations, awareness programs etc. to educate farmers on all these aspects.

Further, Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare through its Krishi Vigyan Kendras (KVKs), ICAR and 36 Central Integrated Pest Management Centers (CIPMCs) located in 28 States and 2 UTs, etc conduct various training programmers such as Farmers Field Schools (Annexure-II), two/five days HRD programmers (Annexure-III), Kisan Goshthis, IPM Exhibitions and Seed Treatment Campaigns (Annexure-IV) where  awareness is created amongst  farmers, Pesticide dealers/State agriculture functionaries on use of bio pesticides, bio control agents and botanical formulations as an alternative to chemical pesticides for pest management, safe and judicious use of chemical pesticides (in accordance to the dose and label claim instructions as approved by RC) as last resort.

Moreover,  CIPMC's  bio-control  laboratories  produce  various  bio-pesticides  and  biocontrol  agents  such  as Metarhizium,  Beauveria, Pseudomonas, Bacillus, Ttrichoderma spp, Isaria  fumosorosea ; Trichogramma spp., Chilonus  blackburni,  Reduviid  bug,  Rhynocoris marginatus,  Chrysoperla  zastrowisillemi,  Cryptolaemus  montrouzeri,  Goniozus  nephantidis, Sycanus collaris, Psuedomallada astur and releases them in field for management of various pests and pathogens.

Also, Government of India has taken various steps to promote the use of bio pesticides. Simplified guidelines have been formulated by Registration Committee (RC) for the registration of bio pesticides. For bio-pesticides, provisional registrations are being granted under Section 9(3B) of the Insecticides Act, 1968 alongwith the permission for commercialization during the provisional registration period of two years based on the confirmation of molecular identity of the  strain  from  ICAR-National  Bureau  of  Agriculturally  Important  Microorganisms  (ICARNBAIM) and quality verification of the product from Central Insecticide Laboratory (CIL).
