DESC:PATENT COMPLETE SPECIFICATION ON SOIL AND PLANT NUTRITION

1. TITLE /NAME OF INVENTION: Soil and Plant Nutrition – Building Production, Profitability and Sustainability
2. FIELD OF INVENTION
The health of soil depends in large measure on the nutrients, elements, minerals, and microorganisms therein (hereinafter collectively referred to as "nutrients") and its water content. The health of soil in turn largely determines its fertility; that is to say, its ability to promote and sustain the growth and health of plants. This is because plants require these nutrients for sustenance. The invention is to increase the productivity of soil and quality of yield by better soil structure and plant health with sustainability.
3. RELATED APPLICATION
In past there people devised methods to improve the quality of soil but all such methods just limited to the improving soil quality but without taking into account its impact on the quality of yield and subsequently on human health. There are some prior art like IN201741023988 which relates to reduction of soil crust formation by improving water retention capacity of soil whereas, the another prior art bearing patent application no WO2018236227 provided a composition to improve or maintain soil health, wherein the composition includes, a base; nitrogen-fixing bacteria; and fungi
The present invention facilitates the use of land for farming or crop production by employing soil testing techniques which produces good quality yield fit for human health.
4. BACKGROUND OF INVENTION & PRIOR ART
In the past there were methods for improvement of the soil but was only limited to increase the productivity of soil without monitoring the quality of the yield.
However these methods suffered from the following drawbacks :
1) The earlier methods the testing of soil was limited tom few parameters.
2) The earlier methods were aimed at increasing the soil productivity only irrespective of its impact on soil quality.
3) The prior art existing does not considered the quality of yield at all.
4) There was no focus or system to monitor and improve the quality of yield there by increasing the medicinal value of food consumed by human being in the earlier methods.
Sr. No. Current applications Our Invention
1 The parameters of soil testing were limited It has developed over 200 problem-solving solutions, including microbial inoculums, liquid fertilisers and humates
2 No method or measures to monitor Soil health Soil health is the prime concern and objective of the current invention
3 There was lack of correlation between increasing productivity of soil and quality of produce. The current invention may be called Nutrition Farming being focused on relationship between soil health and planetary health
4 Soil sustainability is not the area covered in the existing methods The current invention primarily oriented towards Soil and Plant Nutrition resulting in Building Production, Profitability and Sustainability

5. OBJECT OF INVENTION:
The object of the invention is to highlight and research the links between soil health and human health. This approach is termed as “Nutrition Farming” resulting in Building Production, Profitability and Sustainability. More recently, the focus has extended to include the profound relationship between soil health and planetary health. It is basically a method of biological agriculture with sustainable future.

The above chart explains two process, one is antagonism which shows decreased availability to the plant of a nutrient due to action of another nutrient, it is depicted in red lines and second one is the process where the increased availability to the plant of a nutrient, is shown in green arrows, due to the increase in the level of another nutrient.

8. DETAILED DESCRITION OF THE INVENTION WITH THE DRAWING/EXAMPLES

Last several decades the agriculture industry is become addicted to the usage of chemicals promoted by several multinationals. Farmers want a fast solution to their recurring problems they want a fast crop in a short span of time and in the bargain, they have forgotten how much they have deteriorated the soils. The food crops grown have become harmful and intoxicated for human as most of the crops are produced by dangerous chemicals. The agriculture industry still works on the formula of NPK, the government is going on continuing the subsidy towards use of Urea and farmers are without proper study or knowledge dumping Urea as it is procured very cheap. The farmers don't understand that more they use Urea they are inviting pest and other diseases for which again to control the same they are forced to use chemical pesticides. In short, the reality is agriculture sector is left far behind and this is where the current invention provides for a solution by devising a method called NUTRITION FARMING. The concept is focused not on the term Organic, but crops produced with Nutritional benefits which will be healthy for human consumption and will eradicate the use of chemical pesticides to a large extent from the agriculture industry.

The method employed in the present invention could be categorised as under:
• Soil tests as a yield building tool
• The use of beneficial microbes, humates foliar and kelp as problem solvers to soil structure improvement and plant growth promotion.
• Boost the soil productivity along with soil sustainability and quality of yield to provide nutritional food for consumption thereby improving human heath
• It developed multiple, low-cost solutions for marginal farming including inexpensive seed-treatments, plant growth hormones and foliar options.
• In-field crop monitoring to reduce problems
Soil Testing as a yield building tool
NTI is teaching farmers to focus on the soil balancing we have arrangements to test the soil and get the test results of various parameters which farmers have no knowledge about and very important for the soil and growth of the plant and good crop. We have made the farmers understand with this test the importance of Calcium, Nitrate, Ammonium, Magnesium, Potassium, Sodium, Sulphur, Boron, Iron, Manganese, Copper, Zinc, Molybdenum, Cobalt and Selenium. With the test we advise farmers what is the actual need of nutrients in the soil and to stop unnecessary use of fertilisers not needed by the farmer this saves lot of money of the farmer and also helps in rebuilding the soil and plant growth for the future without use of chemicals.

Leaf Test Report & Graphs

The leaf test reports shows the presence of nutrients in the soil , its percentage level/ ppm , the acceptable range of a nutrient and also provide the information whether the presence of nutrient element in the soil is in a range which is deficient/acceptable / excessive.
Soil Test Report & Graphs


The above provide the detailed analysis of nutrient present in soil on the basis of twenty nine categories as listed above.
Till date nobody in India has ever introduced testing of so many parameters. Farmers have never been guided or advised about the importance of these parameters in their day to day farming and how it can help if the parameters are kept in check.

9. STATEMENT OF INVENTION:
