NFL posts marked growth in non urea fertilizers

Attributed to NFL’s awareness building in farmers

As the National Fertilizers Limited (NFL) has been continuously encouraging farmers  to use non-urea fertilizers like Diammonium Phosphate (DAP), Muriate of Potash (MoP), Nitrogen Phosphorus Potassium (NPK) and Sulphur Based fertilizers, the company has been able to register growth in sale of all the non-urea fertilizers during the first seven months of the current financial year.

The sale of Sulphur based fertilizers of the company, Bentonite Sulphur, has registered a growth of 237 per cent and single super phosphate (SSP) has registered growth of 133 per cent over the corresponding period Last Year (CPLY). While Bentonite Sulphur, produced in NFL Panipat Plant, logged sale of 11,730 MT during April-October 2020 against CPLY of 3,478 MT, sale of SSP reached 14,726 MT compared to 6,323 MT during the same period last year.

“It is important to encourage use of all types of fertilizers to provide balanced nutrition to soil”, said V N Datt, CMD, NFL. Sulphur is essential to maximizing plant growth and yield. As the fourth most important nutrient, Sulphur is also required for nitrogen use efficiency. NFL markets Urea, DAP, MoP, NPKs, APS, Compost, SSP and Bentonite Sulphur besides many strains of bio-fertilizers to provide all types of fertilizers to farmers under one roof.
