  32. FERTILIZER TESTING • Fertilizer Quality Control Laboratories – 2 • Annual analyzing capacity of fertilizers: 5000 • Fertilizer samples analyzed for 2009-10 : 2760 32

  33. ISSUES Railways are insisting for movement of full wagon/half wagon for the movement of fertilizers. Kerala being a small state the manufacturers find it difficult to comply this order since the requirement of fertilizers is very low compared to other states. To the south of Kottayam district there are no rake points in Kerala and hence the movement of fertilizers to the southern districts is a problem. A rakepoint may be allotted at Kazhakuttom railway station in Thiruvananthapuram to solve this problem Since Zuari India Ltd. is not in a position to supply the allocation of complex fertilizer due to Kerala, the same may be given as additional allocation to M/S FACT. The claim for FACT is pending from April 2009 onwards, since the claim in Proforma A & C uploaded by the firm in Fertilizer Monitoring System (FMS) is not tallying with the claim submitted to the Department.

  34. INTEGRATED NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT • INM promoted on padasekharam basis for rice cultivation. • Supply of adequate quantity of green manure seeds • Assistance for establishment of vermi compost units 34
