Agriculture is one of the main aspects of sustaining life as food is essential for all living beings on Earth. It is also the backbone of the economy for many countries. As our population increases, the demand for supply of food also needs to meet ends. We have been relying on traditional farming methods for ages, however, it is not enough especially for the farmers who can barely make ends meet with low crop yields. The Indian Farmers Fertilizer Cooperative Limited (IFFCO) came up with a solution with the introduction of Nano Urea Liquid which is solely designed to improve plant nutrition. It also addresses the problems of farmers & environment which is leading to a kind of revolution in the agricultural sector.
IFFCO’s constant efforts and contribution to improve the ways of agriculture have successfully led to the Green Revolution. One such way is the adoption of Liquid Nano Urea manufactured by IFFCO. It is a nanotechnology-based fertilizer in the form of liquid that provides essential Nitrogen, which is vital for plants. Moreover, it helps to cut down the costs by replacing the traditional use of Urea. Mentioned below are some of the few points on how Liquid Nano Urea has revolutionized agriculture.
As a society, while we are transforming and transitioning for better or worse depends entirely on the repercussions for the environment. Our ability to modify the use of available resources for the benefits, should not be at the cost of degrading the environment. Additionally, the price of Nano Liquid Urea being fairly affordable also has the potential of an eco-friendly solution for crop nutrition while curbing down soil, water and air pollution.
When it comes to exploiting resources, they need to be monitored and used in such a way that we also preserve them for the next generation. Traditional use of Nano Urea Liquid mostly goes into waste which is absorbed by the soil, water and air, therefore, leading to all sorts of pollution. However, Liquid based Urea produces less waste which in turn keeps the natural resources intact.
Since one bag of urea can be replaced with a bottle of Nano Urea Liquid. Not only it is easy for storage and reduces the cost of logistics but in general using Liquid Urea is cost-effective and has the potential to enhance farmers’ income.
The nanotechnology-based fertilizer while on trial was proven to be the most advanced nitrogen fertilizer that has high efficiency. Even during irrigation, most of the nitrogen from traditional Urea is lost. Whereas, Nano Urea Liquid is designed in such a way that when sprayed on the leaves, it is highly effective because the extremely small particles lie on a greater surface that aids the plant to consume essential nutrients which in turn produces a higher yield.
The development on how to use Nano Urea by IFFCO led by the Scientist, Ramesh Raliya, has indeed revolutionized agriculture globally and India’s role in Green Revolution and taking the world towards a more sustainable future. It seems like a new era of fertilizers has begun that are highly impactful in terms of producing higher quality yields with little to very less consequences on the environment. Also, global awareness of Liquid Urea’s adoption and how it could benefit the farmers needs to be carried out while monitoring its usage.
