Nano Urea
IFFCO Nano Urea is the first Nano fertilizer approved by the Government of India and included in the Fertilizer Control Order (FCO).
Properties Of Nano Urea (Liquid)
- It contains 4.0 % total nitrogen (w/v) evenly dispersed in water
- Nano nitrogen particles size varies from 20-50 nm

DESCRIPTION
- It is developed and Patented by IFFCO.
- Application of 1 bottle of Nano Urea can effectively replace at least 1 bag of Urea.
- It has been tested on more than 90 crops across 11,000 locations in collaboration with ICAR- KVKs, Research Institutes, State Agriculture Universities and progressive farmers of India.
- When sprayed on leaves, Nano Urea easily enters through stomata and other openings and is assimilated by the plant cells. It is easily distributed through the phloem from source to sink inside the plant as per its need. Unutilized nitrogen is stored in the plant vacuole and is slowly released for proper growth and development of the plant.
- Small size (20-50 nm) of Nano Urea increases its availability to crop by more than 80%.
BENEFITS
- It effectively fulfills crop nitrogen requirement, increases leaf photosynthesis, root biomass, effective tillers & branches,
- Enhances Farmer’s income by an increase in crop productivity and reduction in input cost.
- Farmers can easily store or handle one bottle (500 ml) of Nano Urea
- It helps conserve soil, air and water quality.
HOW TO USE
- Mix 2 to 4 ml of Nano urea in one Liter of water and spray on crop leaves at active growth stages.
- For best results apply 2 foliar sprays*
- 1st spray at active tillering/branching stage (30-35 Days after Germination or 20-25 Days after Transplanting)
- 2nd spray 20-25 days after the 1st spray or before flowering in the crop.
- Note – Don’t cut nitrogen applied through DAP or complex fertilizer at the basal stage. Reduce only top dressed Urea applied in 2-3 splits; the Number of sprays of Nano Urea can be increased depending upon the crop and its nitrogen requirement)
| Crop | First Spray | Second Spray | Third Spray |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cereals(Rice, Wheat, Maize, Bajra, Jowar | 35-40 days after sowing/20-25 days after transplanting | 55-65 days after sowing/ 40-50 days after transplanting | For Crops with special nitrogen requirement |
| Oilseeds (Mustard, Groundnut, Soybean | 35-40 days after sowing | 50-60 days after sowing | For Crops with special nitrogen requirement |
| Pulses(Urd, Moong, Chana, Masoor, Pea | 45-50 days after sowing | For Crops with special nitrogen requirement | |
| Vegetables | 30-35 days after sowing/ 20-25 days after transplanting | For crops with multiple harvests, spray after every harvest | |
| Cotton | 30-35 days after sowing | 50-60 days after sowing | As per the nitrogen requirement of the crop |
| Potato | 30-35 days after tuber germination | 40-55 days after germination of tuber | As per the nitrogen requirement of the crop |
| Fruits & Flower crops | As per the nitrogen requirement of the crop spray 2-3 times before flowering, fruit formation stage & fruit development stage. | ||
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
- Shake well the bottle before use.
- Use a flat fan or cut nozzles for spraying on the leaves.
- Spray during morning or evening hours to avoid dew.
- If rain occurs within 12 hours of the spray of Nano urea, it is advised to repeat the spray.
- Nano Urea can easily be mixed with biostimulants, 100% water-soluble fertilizers, and agrochemicals. It is always advised to go for a jar test before mixing and spraying for compatibility.
- To check the list of agrochemicals that are scientifically tested for both chemical and physical compatibility with nano urea for field application
- For better results, Nano urea should be used within 1 year from the date of its manufacturing.
SAFETY & PRECAUTIONS
- Nano-Urea has been tested for biosafety and toxicity as per the guidelines of the Department of Biotechnology (DBT), the Government of India, and OECD international guidelines.
- Nano urea is safe for the user; safe for flora and fauna and is non-toxic, however, it is recommended to use a face mask and gloves while spraying on the crop.
- Store in a dry place avoiding high temperatures and keep away from the reach of children and pets.
