Nano Fertilizers Adopted by Tea Research Association to Boost Indian Tea Yields
What happened
At the Annual General Meeting of the Tea Research Association, IFFCO launched nanotechnology-based fertilizer solutions for tea cultivation in India. These innovations followed four years of joint trials with the Tea Research Association, which demonstrated promising yield gains of 8–14%. IFFCO Nano Urea and Nano DAP will now be incorporated into the Tea Research Association’s Package of Practices for tea cultivation.
Why it matters
The inclusion of IFFCO's nano fertilizers in the Tea Research Association's recommended practices is a significant step toward applying research-backed nutritional solutions to tea gardens. This move has the potential to improve yields and support sustainable cultivation within the tea industry.
The Tea Board of India has previously requested funds related to its operations in Assam, and the Assam government urged the Central Government for greater assistance on July 30, 2026.
