Potash for Life in India at a Glance
We want to share with you this taste of the work we do in India to explain how the use of potash fertilizer boosts crop yields.

From the Field
Sohan Singh: “I was very happy to see the film crew here on the demonstration plot I have for Potash for Life. As farmers our traditional practice has been not very smart with fertilizer. We spent a lot of money but the results were variable.
Through the plot here, which I set up with the help of Potash for Life agronomist Anirudh Namdev, I can see that the investment in potash fertilizer brings good returns. It’s that simple.
I enjoy sharing that news and exactly how to use potash with any farmer who stops by here to see the results for themselves.”

Anirud Namdev: “You could think it is hard to explain everything we do in Potash for Life. But everything we do – farmer meetings, demo plots and the visits to farms – is about one thing: getting the best yield from giving the crop the right balance of nutrients in a simple application or two of potash.
The results we are getting are great. So is the reaction from the farmers we work with. That’s Potash for Life.”
