Why does the Government of India promote the use of ‘Neem-coated Urea’ in agriculture?
(A) Release of Neem oil in the soil increases nitrogen fixation by the soil micro-organisms
(B) Neem coating slows down the rate of dissolution of urea in the soil
(C) Nitrous oxide, which is a greenhouse gas, is not at all released into atmosphere by crop fields
(D) It is a combination of a weedicide and a fertilizer for particular crops
Important Facts
- Neem-coated urea releases nitrogen slowly, improving fertilizer efficiency and reducing losses.
