Can Nano-sulphur be a Game Changer for Oilseed Crops? A Case Study from TERI
To achieve edible oil self-sufficiency by 2030, India must boost oilseed productivity. However, declining soil sulphur levels―due to modern farming-are hindering yields, as oilseeds need high sulphur for oil synthesis and seed development. Nanofertilizers like nano-sulphur improve nutrient use, support plant growth, and reduce environmental harm. Replacing 25-50 per cent of traditional fertilizers with nanofertilizers yields results equal to or better than using 100 per cent conventional inputs. TERI has developed nanosulphur using a unique biogenic method, highlight Suneeti Singh, Palash K Manna, Alka Pandey, Maharaj Singh, Rajesh Narayan, Arvind Kapur, and Pushplata Singh.
