  • EcoPil4A-Agro: India cannot sustain current cost of fertiliser imports. It must cap its consumption of urea, DAP and MOP.

They’ll (A) slow down the rate at which urea is hydrolysed (resulting in the production of ammonia gas and its release into the atmosphere) (B) nitrified (leading to below-ground loss of nitrogen through leaching). 😍 This will enable farmers to harvest the same, if not better, yields with a lesser number of urea bags. (2) use liquid “nano urea” (3) promoting sales of SSP (containing 16 per cent P and 11 per cent S) and complex fertilisers such as “20:20:0:13” and “10:26:26”.
