In a game-changing move for India’s agriculture, nano di-ammonium phosphate (DAP) has been commercially launched, following the successful introduction of nano urea last year.
These revolutionary nano fertilizers hold immense promise, leveraging advanced technology and innovative formulations to enhance crop productivity and sustainability. This significant stride in agricultural science is set to transform India’s food security and uplift the well-being of farmers.
Nano fertilizers, based on nanotechnology, offer a more efficient approach to delivering nutrients to crops compared to conventional fertilizers. Their ultra-small particle size enables easier nutrient penetration into the crops.
Unlike conventional fertilizers, which are primarily in powder or granular form, nano fertilizers are used in liquid form. This distinction in form and size enhances their effectiveness in nourishing plants and maximizing agricultural output.
The adoption of nano fertilizers in agriculture has the potential to revolutionize the fertilizer sector. While it may take time for the larger farming community to fully embrace nano fertilizers, their utilization could significantly reduce the reliance on imports and lower the government’s fertilizer subsidy expenditure.
Crucially, due to their enhanced efficiency, nano fertilizers can boost crop yields and improve the resilience of crops against adverse weather conditions. However, the most notable advantage of transitioning to nano fertilizers lies in their positive impact on soil health.
SOIL HEALTH BENEFIT
For beginners, chemical fertilizers are artificially manufactured and play a huge role in the life cycle of a crop. It is unthinkable today to feed the rising population of the world without the use of chemical fertilizers.
