Question

Which of the following is a gaseous fertiliser containing about 82% nitrogen and recently approved by the Government of India for agricultural use for three years?

TodaySprint · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Option D: Anhydrous ammonia. India approved the manufacture and agricultural use of Anhydrous Ammonia as a fertiliser for a three-year period on 23 July 2026. Anhydrous Ammonia contains 82% nitrogen, making it one of the most concentrated nitrogen fertilisers. Anhydrous Ammonia is stored under pressure and applied by injecting it below the soil surface using specialised equipment. India produces about 30 million tonnes of urea annually and imports nearly 10 million tonnes to meet domestic demand. The Government plans to procure 7.24 lakh metric tonnes of Green Ammonia annually under the National Green Hydrogen Mission for Green Urea production. The Department of Fertilizers issued an Expression of Interest (EOI) for establishing Green Urea plants. The Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) is a Central Public Sector Enterprise under the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy. In May 2026, the Indian Council for Agricultural Research (ICAR) recommended ammonium sulphate as a substitute for urea in rice cultivation.
