Iranian Firm Presells Slow-Release Urea Fertilizer to 7 Countries
According to the producers, the advantages of this product include being friendly to the nature and significantly reducing the consumption of raw urea.
“The latest achievement of our company is the slow-release urea fertilizer. Urea fertilizer, one of the main sources of nitrates in agriculture, has a high consumption, and with this plan, we were able to reduce the consumption of this fertilizer to a third,” said Mohammad Amin Zamani, a member of the board of directors of the knowledge-based company.
“With the nano coating that we created on the urea fertilizer, the release of nitrogen occurs slowly and is gradually provided to the plant and the wastage of nitrogen is prevented, reducing the consumption of urea,” he added.
“To export this product, our company has already made pre-sales to 7 countries, including Kenya, Iraq, Afghanistan, UAE, etc.,” Zamani said.
In a relevant development in July, Iranian researchers at a technology company in Iran have successfully produced organic fertilizers using new and advanced methods to help farmers produce high-quality and healthy crops.
The company "Sabzgostran Mazar’ Giti", which is based in the science and technology park of Islamic Azad University, Najafabad Branch (IAUN) has produced organic fertilizers in line with its goal of developing and supporting green agriculture.
Erfan Hosseini Beheshti, the managing director of the Iranian knowledge-based company, told ANA that his company was established in 2012 with developing green agriculture on its agenda.
“Over the past years, focusing on research and development of new technologies, we launched several projects in the field of agriculture. The products and services of this company have made great contribution to improvement in the use of land and the performance of farmers,” he told ANA.
“Using organic materials and natural supplements in the production of products shows the attention of this company to the environment and the restoration of the soil ecosystem as well as the health of consumers,” he said, adding, “Employing advanced methods to optimize the production process of agricultural products has saved the life of living and useful organisms in the soil.”
He noted that living organisms are destroyed in the soil if farmers use chemicals.
Beheshti went on to say that the organic fertilizer improves the quality of agricultural products, and protects the environment against desertification.
