IFFCO Nano Urea

IFFCO Nano Urea is a nanotechnology based revolutionary Agri-input which provides nitrogen to plants. Nano Urea is a sustainable option for farmers towards smart agriculture and combat climate change. These fulfil the plant nutrient requirement as a fertilizer since Nano urea is bio available to plants because of its desirable particle size about 20-50 nm and more surface area (10,000 times over 1 mm urea prill) and number of particles (55,000 nitrogen particles over 1 mm urea prill). Hence, Nano Urea increases its availability to crop by more than 80% resulting in higher Nutrient Use efficiency. In addition to this, Nano urea helps in minimizing the environmental footprint by reducing the loss of nutrients from agriculture fields in the form of leaching and gaseous emissions which used to cause environmental pollution and climate change.

DRIVING SUSTAINABILITY

DISCOVER IFFCO NANO UREA

Helping farmers fight climate change

Nano urea is a potential component of 4 R nutrient stewardship as it promotes precision and sustainable agriculture. It promotes clean and green technology as its industrial production is neither energy intensive nor resource consuming.In addition to this, Nano urea helps in minimizing the environmental footprint by reducing the loss of nutrients from agriculture fields in the form of leaching and gaseous emissions which used to cause environmental pollution and climate change.

BENEFITS FROM IFFCO NANO UREA

Making Farming Easy And Sustainable

Higher Crop Yields
Increased income for farmers
Better food quality
Reduction in Chemical Fertilizer Usage
Environment Friendly
Easy to store and transport

The Science behind it

Nano urea (liquid) contain 4% N as encapsulated nitrogen analogues or forms embedded on an organic matrix. It has small size (20-50 nm); more surface area and number of particles per unit area than conventional urea.

1

They can easily penetrate through the cell wall or through leaf stomatal pores.

2

After entering the plant, they are transported to other plant parts via phloem cells, plasmodesmata (40 nm diameter) or can bind to carrier proteins through aquaporin, ion channels and endocytosis.

3

Therefore, foliar application of nano urea liquid results in more efficient nitrogen absorption, better physiological growth, grain production and better quality of fruits.

CERTIFICATIONS

Iffco Nano urea is in approved product both national and internationally

IFFCO Nano Urea is in sync with OECD testing guidelines (TGs) and guidelines for Testing of Nano Agri-inputs (NAIPs) and food products by Department of Biotechnology, Government of India. Independently, nano urea has been tested and certified with bio- efficacy, biosafety- toxicity and environment suitability by NABL-accredited and GLP certified laboratories. IFFCO nano fertilizers meet all the current national and international guidelines related to nanotechnology or nano scale Agri-inputs. With inclusion of nano- fertilizers such as Nano Urea in schedule VII of FCO 1985, its production has been undertaken by IFFCO so that farmers can ultimately benefit from the boon of nanotechnology. It will be a step in the direction of self-reliance in terms of ‘ATMANIRBHAR BHARAT’ and ‘ATMANIRBHAR KRISHI’ because of nano fertilizers.

Higher Crop Yields

Due to small size and more surface area to volume ratio, IFFCO Nano Urea particles are easily available to crops.
Higher crop yields are observed due to enhanced chlorophyll and photosynthesis in leaves and increase in root biomass and number of effective tillers /branches etc.
Average Yield increase up to 8 % have been recorded as per 11,000 field trials conducted across India during 2019-20

Increased income for farmers

IFFCO Nano Urea leads to increase in farmers’ income due to:
- Reduction in Input Cost
- Higher Crop Yield
- Better Quality of Crop Produce
Average increase in income of Rs 2000 per acre have been registered as per Farmer Field trials

Better food quality

Crops harvested using IFFCO Nano Urea are safe for consumption
Nutritional quality of harvested produce is better in terms of protein and nutrient content

Reduction in Chemical Fertilizer Usage

IFFCO Nano Urea rationalizes application of bulk nitrogenous fertilizers like Urea
Foliar application of IFFCO Nano Urea at critical crop growth stages meets nitrogen requirement effectively
Enhanced use efficiency of one bottle (500 ml) of IFFCO Nano Urea can potentially replace at least 1 bag of conventional urea

Environment Friendly

Agriculture sustainability and environment safety can be ensured with the application of IFFCO Nano Urea
Production of IFFCO Nano Urea is energy and resource friendly
It reduces excess application of bulk urea and associated volatilization as well as leaching and run off losses

Easy to store and transport

IFFCO Nano Urea is required in small quantity vis-à-vis bulky nitrogenous fertilizers like urea. This has a significant impact in terms of relative logistics and warehousing cost
Farmers can easily carry bottles of Nano Urea physically over bulky Urea bags
