NEW DELHI, Apr 17: The government has notified specifications of a new product ‘Nano Urea Plus’ fertiliser to be manufactured by cooperative IFFCO in the country for the next three years.
Nano Urea Plus is a new version of nano urea meant for meeting crop nitrogen requirements at critical growth phases.
As per the gazette notification, the government has approved Nano Urea Plus in liquid form with 16 per cent nitrogen content and pH value of 4-8.5 and viscosity of 5-30.
This product will be manufactured by the cooperative major IFFCO for a period of three years, it said.
“IFFCO’s Nano Urea Plus is an advanced formulation of Nano Urea in which nutrition is redefined to meet crop nitrogen requirements at critical growth phases.
