Minister Warns on Urea Overuse, Promotes Nano Urea

A minister in India warned that using too much urea (a type of fertilizer) is bad for the soil and water.

He said it makes the soil less healthy and can harm people's health.

Instead, he suggested using something called nano urea, which is better for the soil and costs less.

The minister also promised rewards for farmers who use less urea.

He told farmers to test their soil and use the right amount of fertilizer.

Officials will help farmers learn how to use nano urea and new farming methods.

They are also giving out pamphlets to help farmers grow black gram crops better.
