Since its introduction it has also been tested by the Central Institute for Cotton Research, Nagpur and they have reported that soil application of Sagarika Granules at 10Kg/Acre increased yield in cotton by 28% while successfully being able to reduce chemical fertilizer application by 25%. The principal scientist quoted that
Sagarika is a boon to cotton farmers to increase their yield with reduction in cost of cultivation.Many other trials apart from this clearly indicate that when ‘Sagarika’ is used in conjunction with a regular dose of fertilizer, the fertilizer usage can be reduced by 25% without any adverse impact on the crop yield and productivity but with a significant positive impact on the farmers’ income. Due to its stress relieving property, Sagarika can play a major role in improving the sustainability of rain fed agriculture.
Sagarika is a broad-spectrum bio stimulant which can be applied to a wide range of crops such as (but not limited to):
