Khuba further added, “Nano Urea (liquid) when sprayed on the leaves easily enters through stomata and other openings and fulfils nitrogen requirement of crops. Because of its unique size and higher surface area to volume ratio, it effectively addresses crop nutrient requirements which results in reduced nutritional stress, better growth, and yield attributes of crops”.
“Price of Nano Urea (liquid) is Rs 225 / 500 ml bottle. It is 16 % less than the price of a 45 Kg bag of conventional Urea. The use of Nano Urea is being promoted through different activities such as awareness camps, webinars, nukkad nataks, field demonstrations, Kisaan Sammelans and films in regional languages etc”, his reply added.
