Developed after a decade of rigorous international and domestic trials, the mineral-based soil enhancer has consistently improved fertilizer efficiency, enhanced soil health, and boosted yields—offering farmers a practical route to sustainability.
Soil at the Crossroads
While India’s Green Revolution guaranteed food self-sufficiency, it also left behind a legacy of chemical dependency. Excessive and prolonged fertilizer use—especially urea—has drained the soil of its organic matter and microbial life. The Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) warns that nearly 40% of the nation’s farmland now suffers from moderate to severe nutrient deficiency, while another 30% faces reduced productivity.
Adding to the problem, India’s reliance on imported fertilizers leaves its farmers vulnerable to price shocks, as seen during the global price surge after 2022. Experts agree that restoring soil health is not merely an environmental concern—it’s a national imperative.
The Science That Sets SafeRock® Apart
Derived from naturally occurring silicate rock, SafeRock® Minerals functions as a soil revitalizer rather than a traditional fertilizer. It contains essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, and trace elements that boost the soil’s cation exchange capacity (CEC)—the ability to hold and gradually release nutrients.
Unlike chemical fertilizers that deplete quickly, SafeRock® provides a slow and steady nutrient release, minimizing losses from leaching and improving microbial activity. It also helps the soil retain moisture, a vital advantage for drought-prone and rain-dependent regions.
Multiple studies by ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI), Krishi Vigyan Kendras (KVKs), and international research centers like Clemson University (USA) and Vietnam’s National Dragon Fruit Program have confirmed its effectiveness.
At Clemson University, for example, SafeRock® boosted tomato yields by 28% while using 20% less nitrogen fertilizer. Similarly, trials in Vietnam reported a 30% reduction in nitrogen use with more than 50% higher yields in tropical fruits—findings that hold strong potential for India’s mango, citrus, and guava farmers.
Indian Field Validation
In Himachal Pradesh, a 2014–15 ICAR-supervised wheat trial at KVK Sirmour recorded a 20.7% yield increase in SafeRock®-treated plots, along with improved soil carbon and doubled calcium and magnesium levels. The nutrient content of grains also rose significantly—making them more nutritious and valuable in the market.
Further, a 2016–17 rice–wheat rotation study led by Dr. Y.V. Singh, Principal Scientist at IARI’s Division of Microbiology, demonstrated remarkable nutrient uptake: nitrogen absorption increased by 40–47%, phosphorus by 60–70%, and potassium by 44–53%. Wheat yields grew by up to 13%, with higher protein and enzyme activity—even as fertilizer use dropped by a quarter.
International Recognition and Certification
SafeRock® earned the EU Type Examination Certificate under the European Union’s Fertilising Products Regulation (FPR 2019/1009) in August 2024—making it officially CE-certified for use across the EU until 2029. This certification, issued by the Netherlands-based STICHTING EFCI Register, underscores the product’s compliance with stringent international standards of safety, performance, and sustainability.
Domestically, its refined form Pomerite® was verified by ICAR-IARI in November 2024. The micronized version enhances nutrient release and is adaptable for modern applications like fertigation and foliar sprays—making it suitable for both smallholders and commercial farms.
Supporting India’s Green Transition
SafeRock® aligns seamlessly with India’s flagship agricultural initiatives such as the Soil Health Card Scheme, Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojana (PKVY), and the National Mission on Sustainable Agriculture (NMSA). Its proven ability to reduce nitrogen dependency supports the nation’s climate commitments under the Paris Agreement by cutting greenhouse gas emissions, particularly nitrous oxide from fertilizer overuse.
Moreover, its role in reducing nitrate leaching helps mitigate groundwater pollution—an escalating concern in agrarian states like Punjab, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh.
Economic and Environmental Gains
For Indian farmers, the shift to SafeRock® isn’t just about sustainability—it’s about profitability. Field economics suggest that its use can generate an additional ₹1,000–₹1,600 per acre, while reducing fertilizer expenses by up to 25%. Over time, the cumulative benefits—healthier soil, stronger crops, and reduced chemical dependency—translate into higher income stability and lower subsidy reliance.
Toward a Regenerative Future
As India pushes toward climate-smart and resilient farming, SafeRock® Minerals stands out as a practical, research-backed solution that bridges modern science and traditional soil wisdom. With endorsement from ICAR, recognition from the EU, and evidence from global research bodies, SafeRock® is not merely a product—it represents a movement toward regenerative agriculture.
By nurturing soil health today, India can ensure a future where its farmlands are not only more productive but also more sustainable and globally competitive.
