Traded Fertilizers
The company is engaged in trading of Di-Ammonium Phosphate (DAP), Muriate of Potash (MOP), Single Super Phosphate (SSP), Ammonium Sulphate and City Compost. The basic objective of marketing such fertilizers is to make available wide range of fertilizers to farming community, making regular supplies of fertilizers to distribution channel and enhancing the company’s turnover. The market is undergoing a sea change and there is a shift from seller’s to buyer’s market. Therefore, it is of paramount importance to make available different kind of fertilizers as per the market demand in different areas, and we at GNFC are more concerned about that. Such steps help in making the distribution channel more strong and developing a good rapport with them.

| Repellent action : | It repels harmful insect from crops due to its strong odour and repulsive action | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Antifeedant : | When applied to crop, harmful insects avoid feeding on the crop due to bitter taste of the Narmada Neem pesticide which ends their life cycle | |||
| Ovicidal effect : | Harmful insects do not lay eggs on crops coated with Narmada Neem pesticide which subsequently terminates the life cycle of an insect | |||
| Growth Retardant Effect : | It destroys the reproductive power of insects by barring body transformation of Larvae and cocoons. Hence, it breaks the life cycle of harmful insects | |||
| Azadirachtin content of Narmada Neem pesticide stops the formation of chitin in insects. It hinders sexual conversation and intercourse of insects. It also makes adult insect impotent | ||||
Benefits :
| Narmada Neem pesticide affects the life cycle of an insect in different ways due to the presence of different biological active ingredients. Due to this, the insect cannot develop immunity against Narmada Neem Pesticide over a generation. |
