Opis

The eco-friendly fertilizers- Nano urea and Nano DAP in liquid formulations are manufactured by Nano Biotechnology Research Centre in association with Indian Farmers Fertilizers Cooperative Limited to avoid the imbalanced and excessive use of Urea and DAP. Nano urea (liquid) is a source of nitrogen which is required for proper growth and development of plant. Nano urea contains nano scale nitrogen particles which have a high surface area (10,000 times over 1mm Urea prilled). Nano urea also contains 55,000 nano particles and on foliar application, these small particles are delivered directly to the plant cell, thereby releasing nitrogen inside the cells. Nano DAP (Liquid) is also a source of nitrogen and phosphorus which is required for growth and development of crop. Nano DAP contains 8 per cent nitrogen and 16 per cent phosphorus by weight in its nano form.
