Abstract
Conventional fertilizer application techniques are resulting in seriously overdosing of chemical fertilizers which has become evident through the phenomenon of eutrophication, volatilization, leaching, release of nitrous oxides and thus being the greenhouse gases, contribute to the global warming. Nanotechnology is a promising field of research which has the potential to offer sustainable remedies to pressing challenge scon fronted to modern intensive agriculture. Nanofertilizers hold potential to fulfill plant nutrition requirements along with imparting sustainability to crop production systems and that too without compromising the crops yield. The results of 187 trials conducted on farmers’ fields with potato have proved that the quantity of urea being applied by the farmers to supply nitrogen to the crop can be successfully reduced to half. The yields obtained with 50% less nitrogen as compared to FFP and applying 2 sprays of nano-nitrogen in standing crops gave yields higher than FFP in most of these trials. This paper describes the results of 187 on-farm trials conducted on potato during winter season of 2019-20 in Uttar Pradesh.
