Executive Summary & Key Takeaways

**Executive Summary** This order, issued by the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare on April 27, 2026, notifies the specifications for specific Nano fertilizers under the Fertiliser (Control) Order, 1985. It authorizes three specific companies to manufacture Nano Di Ammonium Phosphate and Nano Urea for a period of one year from the date of publication. The document mandates strict adherence to physical-chemical standards and prohibits unethical sales practices. **Key Points / Main Content** **Authorized Products and Manufacturers** * **Nano Di Ammonium Phosphate (liquid):** Manufactured by Coromandel International Limited. * **Nano Urea (liquid):** Manufactured by M/s Ray Nano Sciences and Research Centre. * **Nano Di Ammonium Phosphate (liquid):** Manufactured by M/s Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative (IFFCO). **Technical Specifications** * **Nitrogen Content:** Requirements vary by product, ranging from 1-2% for Coromandel’s DAP to 7-9% for IFFCO’s DAP, and 1-5% for Ray Nano’s Urea. * **Phosphorus Content:** Coromandel’s DAP must contain 3-5% Phosphorus, while IFFCO’s DAP requires 15-17%. * **Particle Size:** At least 50% of the material must have a physical particle size of less than 100 nanometers (nm), verified via Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) analysis. * **Zeta Potential:** Specific scales are defined for each product (e.g., 1 mV to 5 mV for Coromandel DAP; >30 mV for Nano Urea; >5 mV for IFFCO DAP). **Mandatory Compliance for Manufacturers** * **Sales Restrictions:** Manufacturers are strictly prohibited from the "forced sale" of Nano fertilizers by tagging them with other fertilizers or agricultural inputs. * **Labeling and Instructions:** Containers or accompanying leaflets must clearly print the crop-wise dosage, the specific crop stage for application, and the method of application. * **Educational Outreach:** Manufacturers must conduct demonstrations at various Krishi Vigyan Kendras to illustrate the advantages of Nano fertilizers to farmers. **Impact Analysis** **Stakeholders: Coromandel International Limited, M/s Ray Nano Sciences and Research Centre, and M/s Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative** **Impact** These entities are granted the exclusive right to manufacture specified Nano fertilizers for one year, provided they meet the government's rigorous technical standards. **Action Required** Manufacturers must ensure all batches meet the notified nitrogen, phosphorus, and particle size specifications. They must also update packaging with detailed application instructions and organize farmer demonstrations at Krishi Vigyan Kendras. **Stakeholders: Farmers** **Impact** Farmers gain access to regulated Nano fertilizers with standardized specifications and are protected against predatory "tagging" or forced bundling of agricultural products. **Action Required** Farmers should look for detailed dosage and application instructions on labels or leaflets and participate in demonstrations at Krishi Vigyan Kendras to understand the proper use of these products. **Stakeholders: Regulatory Authorities / Krishi Vigyan Kendras** **Impact** These bodies serve as the monitoring and educational hubs for the rollout of these notified fertilizers. **Action Required** Krishi Vigyan Kendras must facilitate and host demonstrations provided by the manufacturers to ensure the effective transfer of technology to the farming community.
