Bengaluru: Union Minister of Health and Family Welfare, Fertilizers and Fertilizers Mannukh Mandaviya said that research is being done to produce DAP in liquid urea bottle model through nano technology. He spoke on Thursday after laying the foundation stone of the ‘Nano Urea Plant’ started by costos organization in Devana halli village. “Revolutionary changes are taking place in the agricultural sector of the country, as a result of which this company has produced Nano Urea. A bottle of this is a bag of urea, she expressed. DAP in liquid form will be quick transportation cost will be low and storage will be easy. Research is going on to produce DAP in the same model, he said. 6 nano urea will help to reduce the subsidy, he said. Chief Minister Basavaraja Bommai said, “An agreement has been signed with 2 companies in the state to produce ammonia from sea water. He is confident that 100 percent of the farmers of the state will use the nano urea produced in the state. Foundation Stone Laying Ceremony of IFFCO Nano Urea ( Liquid ) Plant and Kisan Goshti Place : IFFCO- Nano Urea Unit , Hi – tech Defence & Aero space Park , 2nd Phase , Naganayakanahalli , Devanahalli Taluk , Bangalore Rural Dist . Date : 14.07.2022 , Thursday Time : 6.00 pm IFFCO – Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative Ltd was established in 1967 in cooperative Sector with the Primary objective of increasing agricultural productivity and improving rural economy by manufacturing quality fertilizers and promoting their balanced use .
