TS to promote use of liquid urea to reduce cost to ryots

First consignment of nano urea to reach State in couple of days

The first consignment of nano (liquid) urea from the IFFCO plant at Kalol in Gujarat has left for Telangana on Friday as Minister for Agriculture S. Niranjan Reddy flagged-off the truck virtually. Speaking on the occasion, the Minister said the liquid urea developed with nano technology by the scientists of the Indian Farmers Fertilizer Cooperative Ltd. would save the burden of subsidy of ₹800 to ₹1,000 per bag of urea besides transport and storage expenses to the governments as a 500 ml liquid urea bottle would be available for ₹240 and it would substitute a bag of urea. He complimented the IFFCO for securing the patents for the nano urea, which would also prevent environmental pollution – to the soil, water and air – from the making of urea. The product was not developed by a corporate company but by a cooperative of the farming community.
