Sustainable farming in India just got a new ally environment-friendly bio-nano phosphorus fertilizer.
TERI and Chambal Fertilizers and Chemicals Limited have launched a bio-nano Phosphorus fertilizer, ‘Uttam Pranaam’ to promote sustainable farming in India.
The innovative solution embodies indigenous innovation and sustainability and is in line with the PM-PRANAM program’s emphasis on nano-fertilizers.
By improving plant uptake and nutrient assimilation by up to 95%, bio-nano fertilizers can reduce the usage of conventional fertilizers by 25–30%. In addition to lowering greenhouse gas emissions and improving crop yield and stress resistance, it provides a sustainable substitute for traditional fertilizers.
The introduction of the bio-nano fertilizer promises greater productivity, sustainability, and prosperity for farming communities in India and sets a precedent for the adoption of cutting-edge agricultural technologies nationwide.
Dr. Vibha Dhawan and her team officially opened the facility, which in three months can easily be scaled up to 2 crore liters annually, TERI said in a press release.
