Main Body
Role of nano-tech in:-
Use of nano-urea to improve yield
Agriculture productivity:
Improved nutrient intake of crops
Reduction in pests using nano-pesticides
Nano-DAP to reduce the deficiency of phosphorus.
This improved agricultural productivity an help in improving food security the improving availability of food.
Recent developments:
nano urea being manufactured
nano DAP (Di-ammonium phosphate)
nano pesticides.
nanotechnology based feed of farm animals.
Potential Benefits:
i) Reduction in usage of urea – one 300 ml of bottle equivalent to one bag of urea.
ii) Better and improved uptake of nutrients by the crops.
