The Indian government has given the green light for the launch of nano liquid DAP fertiliser, according to Union Chemicals and Fertilisers Minister Mansukh Mandaviya. The fertiliser is designed to benefit farmers and promote self-reliance in the country.
The decision comes after fertiliser cooperative IFFCO introduced nano liquid urea in 2021, and the government approved the launch of nano DAP fertiliser on Friday. Mandaviya stated in a tweet that the approval of nano DAP was another achievement towards achieving self-sufficiency in fertilisers, and that the decision would benefit farmers.
IFFCO will manufacture the product, which is a game-changer for Indian agriculture and the economy, according to its Managing Director U S Awasthi. The company is also planning to launch nano-potash, nano-zinc, and nano-copper fertilisers. The government has set no subsidy for nano urea, which IFFCO launched last year as an alternative to conventional urea, and the company is selling it at Rs 240 per bottle.
