KATHMANDU: CG Agro under Chaudhary Group has launched Nano Urea, a fertiliser suitable for Nepali Agro Market.
Nano Urea was launched on Sunday, November 13 in the presence of Suresh Prabhu, Ex-Union Minster, India and Yogendra Kumar, Marketing Director for Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative (IFFCO), Nirvana Kumar Chaudhary, MD of CG and Nepali bureaucrats from the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development.
The launch event was held at Vivanta in Lalitpur.
CG Agro has been working in the area of agriculture to increase agricultural yield, improve soil quality, prevent environmental pollution, increase the income of farmers and decrease the cost of agricultural farming. Nano Urea fertiliser is manufactured by IFFCO India.
The fertiliser available in liquid form is sprayed on crops including pulses, vegetables, tea, sugarcane and fruits.

Nano Technology is based on a science dedicated to the production of equipment, structures, design and technologies by changing atoms at Nano level. Nano Technology has played an important role in the food and agriculture sector. Nano Urea, the fertiliser produced using Nano Technology, has been introduced to reduce the use of conventional chemical fertilisers. This technology provides sustainable economic and environmental benefits. The diameter of nanoparticles falls between 1 to 100 Nano metres.
Nano Urea is a micro-liquid fertiliser that provides major nutrition of Nitrogen for the development of plant saplings. Unlike conventional urea, the fertiliser uses foliar application.
Due to a lack of domestic production and dependence on imports, every year our country faces a shortage of chemical fertilisers. It appears as a challenge in itself to obtain easily accessible, quality fertilisers. As a solution to the challenge and for a long-term plan to increase the income of farmers Nano Urea has been introduced.
Conventional granular urea is broadcast into the soil while Nano Urea is diluted and sprayed onto the plants. When sprayed at crucial stages of the development of plants, the absorption by the cells of plants is at a higher rate. The nanoparticles enter the plant through stomata and are further transported by Phloem to necessary parts of plants. Nano Urea being absorbed by small cells has higher efficiency as compared to conventional urea. Conventional Urea loses its efficiency by 70% through different means. Long-term use of conventional urea also increases the acidity of the soil.
A 500 millilitre (ml) bottle of Nano Urea is equivalent to 50 kilograms (Kg) or 1 sack of conventional urea in usage. Nano Urea has been claimed to be an environment-friendly and cheap fertiliser that increases soil quality and yield.
About 2ml to 4ml of Nano Urea can be mixed with 1 litre (l) of clean water and sprayed onto the plants. For better results, the nano urea can be sprayed twice after 30 to 35 days of plantation or a week before flowering. Generally, 500ml of Nano Urea can be used for 1 acre of field.
The bottle should be shaken well before use. The fertiliser should be kept safe from the reach of children and animals and it is advised to use a mask and gloves while spraying on plants. Nano Urea can be stored at normal temperatures.
Strategic partnership between CG and IFFCO CG and IFFCO India have entered into a strategic partnership to introduce state-of-the-art agro technologies and development into Nepal. READ ALSO:
