Dr. Ajay Ranka, the Chairman and Managing Director of Zydex Group along with Dr. Shailendra Singh, COO of Zydex Industries, visited Krishi Jagran's office in New Delhi on January 13, 2025. During their visit, Dr. Ranka emphasized the need for healthier soil through aeration, increased humus, and microbial activity, stressing the role of organic inputs for enhanced crop growth and sustainable agriculture at the KJ Chaupal.
Zydex is a global leader in sustainable solutions across textiles, roads, waterproofing, paints, and agriculture. Guided by Dr. Ranka’s vision, the division focuses on delivering eco-friendly and high-performance products to support safe, nutritious, and sustainable farming practices.
During his address, Dr. Ranka emphasized the urgent need to enhance soil health. “Today, soil is not breathing properly, fertility has decreased, and nutrient content is low, making it difficult to support healthy plant growth,” he noted. He highlighted Zydex’s breakthroughs in improving soil aeration, increasing humus content, and boosting microbial activity. He also emphasized the role of organic inputs like cow dung-based fertilizers in sustainable agriculture.
He elaborated on the transformative benefits of Zytonic Suraksha, a solution designed to enhance crop health, resilience, and immunity. It boosts photosynthesis, minimizes water consumption, and mitigates abiotic stresses such as high temperatures, drought, and winds, thereby promoting sustainable farming practices. "We have also achieved a breakthrough in increasing the sugar content in plants, which strengthens their natural immunity and significantly enhances resistance to frequent pathogen attacks," he stated. Adopting these sustainable farming methods can lead to substantial improvements in crop yields.
Dr. Shailendra Singh concluded by saying, “Our focus is to reduce Indian farmers' dependence on chemical fertilizers. We are encouraging profitable and sustainable organic farming.”
The insightful event concluded with a vote of thanks followed by a group photograph to capture the memorable moment.
