Q. Consider the following statements:
1.Nano-DAP (Di-ammonium Phosphate) is cheaper than conventional DAP and is economical for the farmers.
2.Nano-DAP will have 8% nitrogen and 16% phosphorus compared to 18% nitrogen and 46% phosphorus contained in the conventional DAP.
3.Nano-DAP reduces pollution of soil, air and water due to excessive use of phosphatic fertilizers.
Which of the statements given above are correct?
Answer: D
Notes:
Explanation –
Statements 1, 2 and 3 are correct. Nano-DAP (Di-ammonium Phosphate) is a nanotechnology-based agri-input developed by the Indian Farmers Fertilizer Cooperative Limited (IFFCO).
It will have 8% nitrogen and 16% phosphorus compared to 18% nitrogen and 46% phosphorus contained in the conventional granular bag.
It is cheaper than conventional DAP and is economical for the farmers. It reduces pollution of soil, air and water due to excessive use of phosphatic fertilizers.
