Abstract

The green revolution technology has contributed enormously to increasing the production and productivity of agriculture, but this has also led to demineralisation of Indian soils. The declining trend of macro and micronutrients in Indian soils have been observed in almost every part of the country. Tata Steel has developed slag-based gypsum (SBG) which has the potential to remineralise Indian soils. This paper discusses the development of SBG, its benchmarking, and experimental results obtained by the reputed agricultural universities and institutions from the application of SBG. The paper further discusses the market potential and entry barriers for the product. It is argued that all the stakeholders are likely to be positively affected by the application of SBG including the environment, however, pragmatic policies are required to support it, particularly during the initial period of launch.
