The honorable guests discussed the importance of NEB and its usage in crops. NEB is a blend of natural root exudates, which helps to increase microbial activities in the soil. It reduces the loss of nitrogen by saving the usage of Urea. So, application of NEB in crops surely helps to minimize the cost of Urea. Moreover, the field day demonstrated that the yield of treated plot was 11.96 MT/Hectare and control plot was 11.89 MT/Hectare. Around 200 Model farmers and local stakeholders participated in the program. They portrayed a positive vibe and showed interest to use NEB in Maize cultivation.
