October 21, 2021

Sri Lanka has received the first consignment of non-harmful Nano Nitrogen liquid fertiliser from India on October 20, 2021.

Key Facts

Of all, India sent 3.1 million litres of high quality non-harmful Nano Nitrogen liquid fertiliser.
The fertilizer will help Sri Lanka in the cultivation of maize and paddy.

Background

Sri Lanka imported the Nano Nitrogen liquid fertiliser, after Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa decided to stop chemical fertilizer imports.
President took this decision in May 2021 which sparked anger and widespread protests in farmland districts of the Island country.

Nano Nitrogen Liquid Fertiliser

Nano Nitrogen Liquid Fertilizer was developed by Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative Limited (IFFCO), with the objective of addressing imbalanced and excessive use of conventional Urea.
It has been developed indigenously, for the first time in the world.
It was developed at Nano Biotechnology Research Centre (NBRC) of IFFCO at Kalol, Gujarat by means of a proprietary patented technology.

Nano Urea (Liquid)

It is a source of nitrogen and a major essential nutrient that are required for proper growth and development of plants. Nitrogen is a key constituent of amino acids, genetic materials, enzymes, energy transfer compounds and photosynthetic pigments in a plant. Usually, in a healthy plant, nitrogen content is present in the range of 1.5 to 4%. Application of Nano Urea (Liquid) at critical crop growth stages of the plant fulfils its nitrogen requirement and increases its productivity and quality as compared to conventional urea.
