NANOUREA as agriculture technology

During this pandemic, many peoples have suffered a lot but the peoples

who suffered a lot were farmers, so this is the time for farmers to stop

suffering. Now it’s a game-changing time for farmers. It is the kind of

fertilizer that will be replaced as urea, this is done by using nanotechnology

discovered by the Indian Farmer Fertilizer Cooperative Limited(IFFCT).here

use of urea increases productivity by 15% along with a 20-30% increase in

the crop yield.it mainly includes nanonitrogen along with many other nano

elements. whereas only 10 gm of nano zinc would be sufficient for a

hectare of land

Components present in nanourea:

1. It contains 0.01to 5%wtof quinhydrone

2. 0.01 to 10 wt% of calcium cyanamide

3. 85-90%of urea. (nano urea improves NH4+quantity in an adsorption

state).

● What is nanofertiizer:

These are the nano minerals used for agriculture purposes where

these are nano in size and these are easier for the transportation of

the plants where due to nano in sizes, it becomes easier for the plants

to transport. It had a great contribution

Some of the nano fertilizers:

1. Sulphure nanoparticles+silicondioxide nanoparticles+synthetic

fertilizers.

2. Nanosilver+allicine

3. Ironoxidenanoparticles+calciumcarbonatenanoparticles+peat

4. Rare-earth oxidenanoparticles

How does it work?

The roots of plants are porous .so it is easy for roots to absorb

nanoparticles so the usage results in better especially urea which

contains a high amount of nitrogen, along with roots, stomata present in

leaves also facilitate to penetrate deep inside the leaves such that we

can get better yield.

Usage of nanourea:

● Reduction in the requirement of conventional chemical fertilizer by

50%

● Up to 15-30% increase in crop production

● Improvement in soil health

● Reduction in the emission of greenhouse gases

● Environment friendly

● Pollution-free

● Ecofriendly for good bacteria

● It also has a huge positive impact in improving the quality of underground water 

How to trust nanourea?

To test its efficiency, around 11,000farmer field trials were conducted

(FFT) for more than 95 different crops in India. were on average 8% of the

increase in yield has been found out, it can replace urea up to 50% from

elementary. The nanourea costs Rs.240 per500ml. It is 10% cheaper than

elementary urea. The production of Nanourea is commenced in June as

informed by IffCO.also it had planned a massive countrywide campaign

exercise to train and demonstrate the farmers. whereas it will be primarily

available to the farmers through its cooperative scale.
