New Delhi: In a major leap towards sustainable farming, Indian Farmers Fertiliser Corporation Limited (IFFCO) has introduced the world’s first Nano urea liquid for farmers across the globe. The Nano urea liquid has been indigenously developed after many years of dedicated and sincere research of IFFCO’s scientists and engineers through a proprietary technology developed at Nano Biotechnology Research Centre, Kalol, in tune with ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ and ‘Atmanirbhar Krishi.’

IFFCO Nano urea liquid has been found effective and efficient for plant nutrition. This increases the production with improved nutritional quality. It will also give a huge positive impact on the quality of underground water, a very significant reduction in global warming with an impact on climate change and sustainable development, said IFFCO in a statement.

The excess urea causes environmental pollution, harms soil health, and makes plants more susceptible for disease and insect infestation, delayed maturity of the crop and production loss. Nano urea liquid makes the crops stronger, healthy and protects them from losing effect. A 500 ml bottle of IFFCO Nano urea liquid will replace at least one bag of conventional urea. Hence, it will reduce the input cost to farmers.

IFFCO has priced Nano urea at Rs 240 per 500 ml bottle for the farmers, which is 10 per cent cheaper than the cost of a bag of conventional urea. It has planned a massive countrywide campaign exercise to demonstrate and train the farmers about its usage and application. It will be primarily available to farmers through its cooperative sales and marketing channel apart from its sale on IFFCO’s e-commerce platform www.iffcobazar.in. /BI Bureau/
