Krishak Bharati Cooperative Limited (KRIBHCO) is

an Indian cooperative society that manufactures fertilizer,

mainly urea. It is registered under the Multi-State Cooperative

Societies Act 2002, and The Government of India through the

Department of Fertilizers was a member of KRIBHCO but its equity

holding was reduced to NIL on 4 July 2013 under the provisions of

the MSCS Act 2002. KRIBHCO is not owned nor controlled nor

financed by the Government of India / Any State Governments.Its

main plant is located in Surat, Gujarat.

Oil & gas findings in Bombay High and South Basin triggered the

birth of eight new generation fertilizer plants to fulfill the ever-

growing food needs of the country. KRIBHCO was among the first

two projects in the first phase.

KRIBHCO manufactures urea, ammonia Argon, bio-fertilizers, hybrid

seeds & heavy water at Hazira in the State of Gujarat, on the bank

of the Tapti River near Kawas village, 15 km from Surat and 20 km

from the Surat Railway Station, on the Surat-Hazira State Highway.

Hazira Fertiliser Complex has 2 Streams of Ammonia Plant and 4

Streams of Urea Plant. Annual re-assessed capacity for Urea and

Ammonia is 1.729 million MT and 1.003 million MT respectively.

Production of Biofertilizer plant[1] commenced plant of 100 MT per

year capacity was commissioned at Hazira in 1995. An additional

capacity of 150 MT was added to that plant in 1998. Subsequently,

two more Bio-fertilizer plants, each of 100 MT capacity, were

installed at Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh and Lanja, Maharashtra in 2003

and 2004 respectively.

The Hazira Fertilizer Complex was subsequently revamped in 2013 to

increase its production capacity by 4.65 LMTPA of Urea. After the

revamp, the rated capacity has been enhanced to 2x3325 MTPD

Urea (21.95 LMTPA) and 2 x 1890 MTPD Ammonia (12.47

LMTPA). With this, the Hazira fertilizer complex has become

largest single location urea plant in India.

SIGNIFICANCE OF HYBRID SEEDS IN CROP PRODUCTIVITY

 SIGNIFICANCE OF HYBRID SEEDS IN CROP PRODUCTIVITY The
role of hybrids enhancing productivity is now widely acknowledged.
Hybrid technology fits well for a second green revolution in food
grain production which is a must to meet the challenges of rapidly
growing population. The efficiency of other Agriculture Input such
as Fertilizers, Pesticides and irrigation is largely determined by
quality of seeds which accounts for 20-25 % of Productivity. It is,
therefore imperative that quality seeds of appropriate
characteristics are made available to Farmers. There has been
continuous development in Seed quality in last four decades
particularly emergence of good Hybrids and Bt. Cotton. Replacement
of good quality seeds is required every year in case of Hybrids. The
deterioration in the quality of seeds results in loss of productivity
and hence needs replacement. Numbers of studies carried-out on Bt-
Cotton both before and after commercialization have clearly shown
the following benefits:
1. Higher Cotton yield effective control of boll-owing to worms,
2. Drastic reduction in the application of chemical insecticides,
3. Higher profit to farmers and
4. Conservation of biological control agents and other beneficial
organisms,

Bio-Fertilizer Plants

Bio-fertilizers are the low cost source of plant Nutrients, eco-

friendly and have supplementary role with Chemical fertilizers.

KRIBHCO has been producing solid bio-fertilizers at three different

locations i.e. Hazira (Gujarat), Lanjha (Maharashtra) and Varanasi

(UP) and marketing in various states since 1995. The production of

liquid bio-fertilizers has also been initiated in the year 2010-11 at

Hazira plant. At present, the society is dealing in 5 types of

bacterial strains namely Azobactor, Azospirillum, Rhizobium,

Phosphorus Solubilizing Bacteria(PSB) and Acetobactor.

During the year 2015-16, KRIBHCO produced 613.4 kl of liquid and

366.7 ('000 kg) of solid bio-fertilizers. . New strains like NPK Bio-

fertilizer , Zinc Solubilizing Bacteria and Potash Mobilizing Bacteria

cooling tower make up. Deep hydrolyser was installed in Urea plant to
reuse the effluent as boiler feed water after treatment. A number
of energy efficient and pollution abatement projects have recently
been commissioned. An additional steam stripper has also been
installed in Urea-1 plant to treat the ammonia bearing effluent.
Continuous efforts have also been made to check the emission of
pollutants in air. Wet de-dusting system at Prilling tower top has
been installed to restrict the Urea dust. Emissions from all the
stacks are well below the prescribed limits. Six ambient air quality-
monitoring stations have been set up within a radius of 10 km from
our complex for periodic monitoring of air quality in surrounding
area.
KRIBHCO has undertaken afforestation by planting trees of
different species every year in order to improve the ambient air
quality. Lush green lawns are also developed in an area of 100 acres.
More so, a demonstration farm in an area of 41 acres has also been
developed. To create awareness among contract workers an audio-
video module on Environment Protection has been prepared which is
shown to all the contract workers and thereafter, they are allowed
to work in the plant premises.
