Calling it a historic moment not only for IFFCO but also for the country, the co-op titan IFFCO declared that it has secured the patent on its revolutionary Nanotechnology-based fertilizers IFFCO Nano Urea and IFFCO Nano DAP.
IFFCO has received the patents on its revolutionary IFFCO Nano Urea and IFFCO Nano DAP for 20 years from the Patent Office of the Government of India, read a press release issued by media head Harshendra Verdhan of IFFCO.
A true novel example of Atmanirbhar Bharat and Atmanirbhar Krishi, this is a giant leap forward in the realization of PM’s dream of Sahkar se Samriddhi or Prosperity through Cooperation, read the release.
Later IFFCO MD, Dr. U S Awasthi shared the good news through a tweet. The MD wrote, “This intellectual property of IFFCO Nano Urea and Nano DAP will strengthen the Indian economy by reducing input cost to agriculture, double the income of farmers in line with the dream & inspiration of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji.”
It bears recalling that IFFCO Nano Urea and IFFCO Nano DAP are next-generation fertilizers benefiting farmers and the environment. These products will be instrumental in reducing soil, air, and water pollution.
These novel products require fewer quantities to produce high quantities of quality crops, while at the same time keeping the soil healthy. This effort to save our soil from excessive use of chemicals, a long-standing vision and commitment of IFFCO, underlines the release.
It bears recalling that Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated World’s First Nano Urea Plant by IFFCO & dedicated it to the Nation in a largely attended cooperative event, held at Gandhi Nagar in Gujarat in May this year.
Speaking on this occasion, Modi said that he feels extremely happy to inaugurate the world’s first Nano-fertiliser plant. He further said that the power of one bag of urea will now be available to farmers in a half-liter bottle which will reduce transportation costs and will benefit small farmers immensely.
“The state-of-the-art Nano-urea plant of IFFCO at Kalol can produce 1.5 lakh bottles of urea per day and they are planning eight more such plants. This will truly revolutionize the sector making agriculture in India Atmanirbhar thus reducing dependence on urea imports’ ‘, the PM said congratulating IFFCO.
A beg of ,45kg of contains around 21kg nitrogen. With low nutrient use efficiency plant gets approximately 7kg.. how a haf liter bottle on Nano urea can provide 7kg nitrogen to the plants. I am unable to understand the science behind it. Kindly do explain how it works inside the plant. I enquired a lot from several plant scientists. Non could explain it. The explanation will be a great learning for me. Thanks and great regards in enticipation.of getting enriched from your explanation.
IFFCO’s Nano Urea and DAP are indeed revolutionary achievements in the Indian Krishi R&D. A success story impacting the common farmer, the country under Atma Nirbhartha can be really proud of. Its far-reaching implications shall reverberate far beyond in the global agricultural sector leading to more crops per drop of plant nutrients. Moreover, it will prevent nutrients from leaching into the environment bringing a lot of savings to the farmers.
Congratulations to the Great IFFCO team.
