Scientists batting for Nano India agriculture

India is an agricultural economy. So it is natural to agricultural scientists in the India to shake eyebrows if a significant decline in Indian agricultural production is observed. Farm Indian scientists foresee food shortages in coming years could be a serious threat to India and the global economy. According to them the only way to counter this problem is to make rapid progress in the field of nano-biotechnology. The top agricultural scientists in India who had gathered in Indian Universities Association of Agriculture (IAUA) Hearing Master organized in the National Dairy Research, Karnal had expressed concern over food shortages that they said would become a world serious question to be addressed head on.

With a growing population in Asia and Africa, the world population is expected to hit 7.5 billion in 2020 and 9 million in 2050. Needless to say, there is a greater need to use scientific technology to boost agricultural production, said Dr B Mishra, vice-chancellor of Shere-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology, Jammu.

India is known for producing 230 million tons of grain, 149mt of products horticulture, 51 billion eggs, 7 billion tonnes of fish and 105 mt of milk, however, leaves a shortage of post-harvest technology to the annual loss of Rs.76, 000 crore. Of this, about Rs.52, 000 core would have been lost in the spoilage of milk, fish, fruits and vegetables alone, reported Dr. AK Srivastava, director of the National Dairy Research Institute (NDRI), partial.

According to available statistics, more than 1 billion people in throughout India and the rest of the world live on one meal a day, of which about 250 million are from India. And the top of it, the only meal they receive is well – and waste bins, draw Dr. Srivastava. In 2020, the agriculture industry needs more water for their livelihoods, however, water availability would fall by 12 per percent, he added. The only solution is to opt for scientific methods and improve the content of nutrients in the soil in order to strengthen the ground that the loss their power to produce.

The deteriorating conditions have led to the Punjab Agriculture University (PAU), Ludhiana, to initiate the investigation. The university It has set the stage to offset the crisis by creating one of the best laboratories for nano-biotechnology in the country and the company has some innovative work on nematodes in the soil. According to the PAU vice chancellor Dr MS Kang said, Nematoda is the main culprit causing destruction of crops and leads to yields of less of crops. Pau conducted an investigation in which the fungus is applied to lock in nematodes.

Continuous efforts are underway to use nano-technology for better and more prudent use of fertilizers and pesticides. The technology can be applied for rapid detection of diseases and the delivery of fungicides in maneer adequate. This helps in the production of crops. Also in South India, Karnataka Veterinary, Animal and Fisheries Sciences University located in Bidar is doing use of new technologies to increase production of fish and other marine species as food.
