“After the successful adoption of Nano Urea, application of Nano DAP, on various crops, will be expanded in all agro-climatic zones,” the finance minister said. What is Nano DAP — and why does the government want to expand its use? We explain. DAP vs Nano DAP DAP, or di-ammonium phosphate, is the second most commonly used fertiliser in India after urea. It is high in phosphorus (P) that stimulates root establishment and development — without which plants cannot grow to their normal size, or will take too long to mature. It is thus applied just before, or at the time of sowing. Home Minister Amit Shah, last April, launched Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative’s (IFFCO’s) Nano DAP, containing 8% Nitrogen and 16% Phosphorus by volume. Unlike conventional DAP, which comes in granular form, IFFCO’s Nano DAP is in liquid form. This tiny particle size makes Nano DAP more efficient than its conventional counterpart, enabling the fertiliser “to enter easily inside the seed surface or through stomata and ther plant openings”. Better assimilation of the fertiliser inside the plant system in turn leads to “higher seed vigour, more chlorophyll, photosynthetic efficiency, better quality and increase in crop yields.” Why Nano DAP In addition to being more efficient than conventional DAP, Nano DAP has a few other benefits. First, it is more pocket-friendly than its conventional counterpart. A 500 ml bottle of Nano DAP, equivalent to a 50-kg bag of conventional DAP, is priced at only Rs 600 (compared to Rs 1,350 for the bag). Second, for farmers, Nano DAP is also significantly more convenient. Simply put, 500 ml bottles are easier to transport, store, and use than 50kg bags. Most importantly, however, India currently imports significant quantities of fertiliser to meet domestic demand. The adoption of domestically-produced Nano DAP — produced in Kalol, Gujarat — is set to significantly reduce this import burden.
