IFFCO, a leading fertilizer cooperative, has achieved a major milestone by securing a patent for its innovative Stable Nano Nitrogen-Phosphorus fertilizer. The patent, granted for a term of 20 years from February 8, 2023, under the Patents Act, 1970, represents a significant advancement in agricultural technology.
This new patent follows IFFCO’s previous successes with Nano Urea and Nano DAP fertilizers. The Stable Nano Nitrogen-Phosphorus fertilizer is designed to improve the efficiency of nitrogen and phosphorus use in crops.
This enhancement aims to promote more effective and sustainable farming practices, providing farmers with valuable tools for increasing productivity and reducing environmental impact.
Managing Director Dr. U.S. Awasthi announced the achievement via Twitter, expressing his satisfaction and extending congratulations to the IFFCO team.
He stated, “I am happy to share that a patent has been granted to IFFCO for an invention entitled STABLE NANO NITROGEN-PHOSPHORUS containing FERTILISER AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE THEREOF for the term of 20 years from the 8th day of February 2023 in accordance with the provisions of the Patents Act, 1970.”
Dr. Awasthi also acknowledged the inspiration provided by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, emphasizing the role of government initiatives in promoting chemical-free farming and Aatmanirbhar Krishi.
He noted, “We at IFFCO are able to fulfil this dream of Nano DAP Liquid for the farmers of the country.”
Earlier this year, IFFCO was awarded a patent for its pioneering “Nano Urea Fertilizer and Method of Manufacture Thereof,” which is also valid for 20 years from January 12, 2023. This earlier patent underscored IFFCO’s commitment to advancing agricultural innovation.
Dr. Awasthi highlighted the impact of these innovations, stating, “This innovation would help farmers with effective nitrogen nutrition for crops and guide them towards profitable and sustainable farming.”
IFFCO’s Nano range of fertilizers signifies a leap forward in agricultural technology. These advanced fertilizers are expected to play a critical role in reducing soil, air, and water pollution while enhancing agricultural productivity.
The global recognition of IFFCO’s Nano Fertilizers not only strengthens the cooperative’s reputation but also affirms India’s position as a leader in agricultural innovation and sustainable practices.
