Nano Di-Ammonium Phosphate (DAP):
Parliamentary Committee Warns Against Underfunding of Fertilizer Subsidy Schemes.
- Nano DAP is a liquid nano-fertilizer developed to improve nutrient absorption and enhance plant growth.
- It was launched by the Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative (IFFCO) in 2023.
- It contains 8% Nitrogen and 16% Phosphorus by volume.
- Unlike conventional DAP, which is granular, Nano DAP is in liquid form, improving its efficiency and absorption by crops.
- Due to its nano-size (less than 100 nm), it has a higher surface area-to-volume ratio, making it more effective than traditional fertilizers.
