Agri varsity VC warns against urea overuse

The head of a big farming school, Prof. Jayashankar Telangana Agricultural University, said that some farmers are using too much urea, which is a type of fertilizer.

He explained that using more urea than needed doesn't help plants grow better.

Instead, it can make the food we eat unhealthy, pollute the soil, and make the plants weaker.

He advised farmers to use urea carefully to keep everyone safe and healthy.

He also mentioned that urea is cheaper than other fertilizers, which might be why farmers use too much of it.
