The farmers of the Kondapochamma Farmers Producers Organisation (FPO) located in Siddipet were spraying Nano Urea by employing drones quitting the traditional way of spraying urea fertiliser as reported by Telangana Today.
Agriculture Officer Markook Nagendar Reddy has said, “The efficiency of urea reaching out to plants will increase by 30 per cent if farmers spray the Nano Urea. Plants will use just 50 per cent of fertiliser in the traditional way of spraying.”
However, he has said that the efficiency will cross 80 percent if farmers spray Nano Urea employing drones which eventually enhances the paddy production.
Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative Limited (IFFCO) has gifted the drone to FPO to encourage the Nano Urea spraying.
IFFCO Siddipet in-charge Chandrababu has said that the spraying will also restrict the environmental pollution. It will also address the labour shortage in the agriculture sector.
