    IFFCO Nano Urea is the only nano fertilizer approved by the Government of India and included in the Fertilizer Control Order (FCO). Features: Compared to conventional urea prill, Nano Urea has a desirable particle size of about 20-50 nm and more surface area (10,000 times over 1 mm urea prill) and number of particles (55,000 nitrogen particles ...

  2. Mar 23, 2024 · Nano Urea is a nutrient (liquid) used to deliver nitrogen to plants as an alternative to urea. It is designed to replace traditional urea and can reduce the need for it by at least 50%. In a 500 mL container, it contains 40,000 mg/L of nitrogen, which is similar to the nitrogen nutrient impact of one bag of ordinary urea.

  3. Jun 2, 2022 · A bottle of the nano urea can effectively replace at least one bag of urea. The liquid nano urea comes in a half-litre bottle priced at Rs 240, and carries no burden of subsidy currently. By contrast, a farmer pays around Rs 300 for a 50-kg bag of heavily subsidized urea.

  5. Mar 28, 2023 · Nano fertilisers are highly efficient types of fertilisers that provide nutrients like nitrogen to crops through fine granules. Nitrogen is an essential macronutrient for plant functions, and urea is one of the most concentrated nitrogenous fertilisers. Nano Urea Liquid: Nano urea liquid was developed in 2022 by Indian Farmers and Fertiliser ...

  6. Jun 1, 2022 · Liquid nano urea is essentially urea in the form of a nanoparticle. Liquid nano urea vs imported/urea – Which is better? Cost: liquid 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.

  7. Jun 1, 2021 · Conventional urea is effective 30-40% in delivering nitrogen to plants, while the effectiveness of the Nano Urea Liquid is over 80%. Its effectiveness has been tested in over 11,000 farmers’ fields for 94 crops like rice and wheat.

  8. Jun 1, 2022 · Purpose: It has been developed to reduce the burden of urea subsidy, reduce the unbalanced and indiscriminate use of conventional urea, increase crop productivity and reduce soil, water, and air pollution. Developed by: Indian Farmers Fertilizer Cooperative (IFFCO)’s Nano Biotechnology Research Center (NBRC) at Kalol.
