TERI team has developed nanofertilizers for climate smart agriculture

13 Dec, 2023

• The use of nanofertilizers, in combination with ‘bulk’ fertilizer(s), can reduce the application size of conventional fertilizers by 25-50 % in agricultural fields.

• TERI has developed three nano-fertilizer technologies up to commercial scale. These include nano Urea, nano DAP and nano Phosphorous. These nano fertilizers have been synthesized biogenically making them easier to internalize by plants and achieve nutrient use efficiency as high as 90 % or more.

• Biological synthesis of TERI’s nanofertilizers also give an edge to the partner fertilizer companies by reducing their carbon footprint, which is otherwise very high for the conventional fertilizers, especially during their synthesis and transportation.
