Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently inaugurated the country’s first liquid nano urea plant at Kalol, Gujarat.
Benefits of Liquid Nano Urea
Benefits of Liquid Nano Urea
CostLiquid Nano Urea is cheaper (Rs 240 for half litre without subsidy; International market price of a bag of urea is between Rs 3,500 and Rs 4,000.
Benefits of Liquid Nano Urea
Benefits for the government Reduces fertilizer subsidy bill of the government. India is dependent on imports of the widely used fertilizer.
Benefits of Liquid Nano Urea
The efficiency of Nano UreaThe efficiency of liquid nano urea can be as high as 85-90 per cent (Conventional urea has an efficiency of about 25 per cent).
Benefits of Liquid Nano Urea
Shelf LifeLiquid nano urea has a shelf life of a year, and farmers need not be worried about “caking” when it comes in contact with moisture.
Other Benefits
Other Benefits
Fertilizers in nano form provide a targeted supply of nutrients to crops, as they are absorbed by the stomata, pores found on the epidermis of leaves.
Other Benefits
Reduces the unbalanced and indiscriminate use of conventional urea.
