Sustainable Farming with Nano Urea
Commissioned by IFFCO in Uttar Pradesh, India
Conventional Urea and DAP cause environmental pollution, harm soil health, and make plants more susceptible to disease & insect infestation, delayed maturity of the crop & production loss. (Shown above: A farmer picks granular particles of conventional Urea)
VS.
Nano Urea is a nanotechnology based agri-input which provides nitrogen to plants. It is a sustainable option for farmers towards smart agriculture and combat climate change. Nano Urea Liquid makes the crops stronger, healthy and protect them from lodging effect. (Shown above: A farmer sprays Nano Urea liquid on his banana crops)
Drawbacks of Conventional Urea
1 bag of Urea is about 50 kg which makes transportation really difficult for farmers. Also, a farmer pays around Rs 300 for a 50-kg bag of heavily subsidised urea.
Urea is always used in large quantities. Excess release of fertilisers produces toxicity and reduces the ecological balance of soil.
Due to large particle size, Urea is unable to provide homogenous dispersion of micronutrients to the plant and mostly gets wasted.
Due to continuous usage of large and coarse particle size, farmers get cuts and rashes on their hands.
