Nano urea (liquid) fertilizer

Nano urea prepared by nanotechnology contains nanoscale particles of Nano Urea. Average physical size of Nano Urea particles is in the range of 20 -50 nm. Nano Urea contains 4 % nitrogen by weight in its nano form. Nitrogen present in Nano Urea effectively meets the crop nitrogen requirement. It has better use efficiency than conventional urea. Nano Urea is suitable for application as a source of nitrogen for most of the crops/plants. Reduces the requirement of conventional Urea by 50% or more Required less and produces more: Efficacy of one bottle of Nano Urea (500 mL) is equivalent to one bag of urea. Environment friendly product, can improve Soil, Air & Water quality thus, helps in addressing the concerns of Global Warming and in meeting the UN SDGs. Cheaper than conventional urea. Reduce input cost to farmers, leads to increase in farmers’ income. Improves crop productivity, soil health and nutritional quality of produce.

Nano Urea (Liquid) contains nanoscale nitrogen particles which have more surface area (10,000 times over 1 mm Urea prill) and number of particles (55,000 nitrogen particles over 1 mm Urea prill).which makes it more impactful. In comparison to Urea the uptake efficiency of Nano Urea is more than 80 %. It is thus, required in lesser measure compared to the conventional urea fertiliser to fulfil plant’s nitrogen requirement. All India efficacy trials have been conducted on 20 ICAR research institutes and State Agricultural Universities on 43 crops. At all India level 11,000 farmer field trials on 90 crops have been undertaken in supervision of Krishi Vigyan Kendras. It has been recorded in the trials that Nano Urea (liquid) increases crop productivity and can reduce the requirement of conventional Urea by 50%. Further, application of nano urea (liquid) improves yield, biomass, soil health and nutritional quality of the produce.

Nano Urea (liquid) has been tested for biosafety and toxicity as per the guidelines of Department of Biotechnology (DBT), Government of India and OECD international guidelines. Nano Urea (liquid) is completely safe for human, animals, birds, rhizosphere organisms and environment at the recommended levels of application. Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare, DAC & FW, Government of India, has notified IFFCO Nano Urea (Liquid) as a nanofertilizer under the Fertilizer Control Order (FCO).
