Liquid Nano Urea: A Revolution in the Agricultural Industry

 Nano urea is a fertilizer that is in the form of a nanoparticle. It is used as a nutrient to fulfill the nitrogen requirements of plants. Nano urea is also often used as an alternative to conventional urea, which is generally available in a granular form. This is the only nano-fertiliser that has been approved by the Government of India and is included in the Fertilizer Control Order (FCO).


How is Liquid Nano Urea Better than Conventional Urea?

Here are a few benefits of using liquid urea over the conventional one:



  • Better Efficiency

Conventional urea has an efficiency of about 25%, but liquid nano urea can deliver efficiency as high as 85-90%. When used in its granular form, urea may not always have the desired impact on crops, as a large amount of the nitrogen that is present in it gets lost, while some of the nitrogen also gets washed away during irrigation. However, this is not the case with liquid urea. With foliar application, the fertilizer enters the pores and other openings of the plants and the unutilized nitrogen is stored in the plant vacuole, slowly getting released as and when required for plant growth.

  • Higher Crop Yields

When plants get a sufficient supply of nitrogen and other nutrients, it will definitely result in higher crop yields. By using liquid nano urea, you can ensure production of high-quality food crops that are safe for consumption and have higher protein and nutrient content.

  • Cost-Effective

As compared to the conventional form of urea, liquid nano urea is very cost-effective. One bottle of liquid urea can fertilize the same amount of crops as one bag of granular urea does. Other than this, liquid nano urea is also available in smaller packs, which means less money and effort needed to store and transport the fertilizer.

  • Environment-Friendly

Using liquid urea reduces the need for excessive use of chemical fertilizers. It helps minimize environmental pollution and reduces loss of nutrients from agricultural lands through leaching and gaseous emissions. 


Given all these benefits, liquid nano urea is definitely a great option in fertilizers as compared to conventional urea.

What are the Different Methods of Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Agriculture?

Image
  With the increase in population, it has become a need to increase agricultural output in a sustainable manner. Many researchers have found that traditional agricultural practices have led to a plateau in agricultural productivity. Hence it is essential that farmers adopt eco-friendly agriculture and sustainable agriculture practices like organic farming, crop rotation, and integrated pest management, among others. Here is a brief description of all of these methods: Organic Farming Organic farming works on three main principles, which include the principle of public health, in which organic agriculture should be able to sustain the health of the soil, animals, plants, humans and the planet. The second principle is the principle of ecology, which says that organic agriculture should be based on living ecological systems and cycles, emulate them, work with them and help sustain them. The third one is the principle of care, which says that organic agriculture must be managed in a ...

4 Ways Farmers Can Fight Climate Change

Image
  agriculture climate change  has become a threat in recent years. From erratic weather patterns to draughts, it impacts crop growth, harms soil health, impairs pollination, and more to the overall agricultural sector. With conscious choices, farmers can bring about change in the environment. Following are the 4 ways farmers can fight climate change: Using Sustainable Agricultural Practices Pursuing sustainable practices comes with environmental benefits like protecting the soil, having better produce, capturing greenhouse gasses, etc. Nowadays, farmers are implementing sustainable practices such as crop rotation, organic fertilizer use, conservation tillage, and more to fight climate change. Additionally, these practices can help improve the soil health and reduce water wastage. Improving Soil Health Using excessive pesticides and herbicides can pollute the soil by leaving chemical substances behind. This results in the disrupti...

All You Need to Know about Nano Fertilizers

Image
  Nano fertilizers help prevent or minimize nutrient loss and reduce its fast degradation in the soil. This enhances the nutrient quality and the fertility of the soil and promotes crop productivity. Fertilizers are essential for boosting agricultural output, but overusing chemical fertilizers permanently alters the chemical ecology of the soil and damages it. This in return reduces the area that can be used for growing crops.  It is advantageous to use Nano fertilizers because you can use them in less quantity, which enhances the ease of application. Moreover, it reduces the cost of transportation because it is required in a relatively lesser quantity. The disadvantage of using a conventional fertilizer is that a very low percentage of it reaches the target site. This happens due to the leaching of chemicals, drift, run-off, evaporation, photolytic, hydrolysis, and microbial degradation. What is the Significance of Nano Fertiliser? Since Nano fertilizer has become very popul...
