Warangal Officials Promote Nano Urea Amid Urea Shortage
Farmers in Warangal are having trouble getting enough regular urea, the stuff plants eat.
To help, officials are suggesting a new kind called Nano Urea, which is liquid.
It's cheaper, more of it gets used by the plants, and it's better for the environment.
Nano Urea costs less than the old kind, and plants absorb more of it.
This helps plants grow better, like giving them a super-powered drink.
The old kind can hurt the soil, the air, and even make people sick.
The government is also promoting a new version of DAP fertilizer, which is cheaper.
They are showing farmers how to use it with demonstrations, and IFFCO is helping out by providing equipment.
Farmers are facing shortages of traditional granular urea, leading to queues and protests.
Agriculture officials are promoting Nano Urea as a cost-effective and efficient alternative.
Nano Urea is cheaper than granular urea and has a higher absorption rate by plants.
Nano Urea can be applied via spray, including with drones, and is environmentally friendly.
Field demonstrations and awareness campaigns are being conducted to educate farmers.
