The Government of India has notified Nano Dope under the Fertilizer Control Order 1985 on the basis of bio-efficacy tests and toxicology tests. M/s Coromandel International Limited (CIL), M/s Zuari Farm Hub Limited and M/s Indian Farmers Fertilizer Cooperative Limited (IFFCO) have been granted permission to manufacture Nano DAP.
The Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) has stated that IFFCO and CIL have developed Nano DAP and conducted preliminary field trials on selected crops at various Agricultural Universities and ICAR Institutes. The trials have shown that using Nano DAP as seed treatment and foliar spray could potentially save the traditionally used granular DAP.
Mega Campaign to Promote Nano DAP Usage: A mega campaign has been launched to promote Nano DAP in all 15 agro-climatic zones of the country in collaboration with the Department of Fertilizers. This includes consultations and field-level demonstrations. Apart from this, regional level demonstrations and awareness programs are being organized for Nano Urea Plus in 100 districts across the country.
