Liquid Nano Urea
News: PM Narendra Modi inaugurated the country’s first liquid nano urea plant in Kalol, Gujarat. This patented product is expected to substitute imported urea and produce better results in farms.
How does it work?
• Urea artificially provides nitrogen to plants. Liquid nano urea, which contains 4% nitrogen by volume, comes in the form of a nanoparticle.
• The efficiency of liquid nano urea can be 85-90%, compared to 25% for conventional urea.
• Conventional urea is often applied incorrectly, and the nitrogen in it is vaporized or lost as gas. A lot of nitrogen is also washed away during irrigation.
• Liquid nano urea is sprayed directly on the leaves and gets absorbed by the plant.
• Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative Ltd (IFFCO) advises that 2-4 ml of nano urea should be mixed with a litre of water and sprayed on crop leaves at active growth stages.
• Liquid nano urea has a shelf life of a year, and farmers need not worry about “caking” when it comes in contact with moisture.
• Apart from reducing the country’s subsidy bill, it is aimed at reducing the unbalanced and indiscriminate use of conventional urea, increase crop productivity, and reduce soil, water and air pollution.
Is it cost effective?
• The liquid nano urea produced by IFFCO comes in a half-litre bottle priced at INR 240, without any subsidy at present.
• In contrast, a farmer pays around INR 300 for a 50KG bag of heavily subsidized urea.
• As per IFFCO, a bottle of nano urea can effectively replace at least one bag of conventional urea. The international market price of a bag of urea is between INR 3,500 and INR 4,000
• The government’s fertilizer subsidy payout this FY will be Rs. 2 Lakh crore.
