COIMBATORE: Scientists of Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (TNAU) have urged farmers in the western belt to use nano liquid urea, which was launched by Indian Farmers and Fertilizer Cooperative (IFFCO) recently, as it can improve yield and reduces the impact on soil and environment.
Nano liquid urea has been independently evaluated, validated and tested for biosafety by the department of nano science and technology, directorate of natural resource management of TNAU by a team of scientists led by K S Subramanian. It was tested for three years in crops such as rice and maize and applied using drones.
