This book conceptualizes a revolutionary idea based on a
mechanistic-mathematical model in which the "Buffer Power" of the
principal and problematic nutrients like phosphorus, potassium and
zinc is quantified. This is achieved by using either a very
sophisticated technique, electro-ultra-filtration, or a simple
adsorption-desorption equilibrium technique, and by integrating the
"Buffer Power" of the nutrient in question into the computations,
accurate fertilizer recommendations are made. This technique was
field tested across Europe, (Germany and Belgium), Africa (The
Republic of Cameroon), and Asia (both Central Asia- Turkey and
South Asia-India), during a period of three decades in test crops,
such as, summer rye (Secale cereale), maize (Zea mays), wheat
(Triticum aestivum), white clover (Trifolium repens), a highly
nutritious and palatable fodder crop for Africa, black pepper
(Piper nigrum) and cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum). Remarkable
precision in predictability of plant uptake of phosphorus,
potassium and zinc was obtained employing the technique. "The
Nutrient Buffer Power Concept" project was shortlisted for the very
prestigious U.S. $1 Million Rolex Awards For Enterprise of The
Rolex Foundation, Geneva, Switzerland, for its outstanding
originality and quality from more than 3500 nominations worldwide
and is the only project chosen for this very coveted distinction
from the Asian continent.
