In a significant move to modernize India’s agricultural landscape, the government has entered into a Rs. 21 crore agreement with the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of nano urea, a next-generation fertilizer designed to enhance nutrient efficiency and reduce environmental impact. The initiative aims to assess the product’s performance across varied agroclimatic regions, measure long-term soil health implications, and determine its potential to replace conventional urea.
