I congratulate the IFFCO team for this achievement that will pave the way for farmers' prosperity and agriculture sustainability."
Zinc is a crucial micronutrient for the enzyme functioning in plants and it is very important for plant growth and development. Zinc deficiency in plants is one of the major concerns globally. Similarly, Copper is required for many enzymatic activities in plants and chlorophyll and seed production. Deficiency of Copper can lead to increased susceptibility to diseases.
After this notification, now five liquid fertilizer products of IFFCO based on nanotechnology will be available to the farmers. After IFFCO Nano Urea, Nano DAP, IFFCO's liquid fertilizer IFFCO Nano Urea Plus was notified by the government and now IFFCO Nano Zinc (Liquid) and IFFCO Nano Copper (Liquid) have been notified for three years.
