NANO Fertilizers way to go
30 Nov 2025
The newly launched IFFCO NANO fertilizers range will broaden the horizon and ensure that the quality and content of our local produce is of high quality, said President Advocate Duma Boko.
The fertilizers are produced by a local manufacturing Lone Trends in partnership with Indian fertilizers farmers cooperatives, IFFCO and Nardi, enhance nutrient availability and efficiency and are also environmentally friendly.
President Boko who officially launched the IFFCO NANO fertilizers range in Sebele today said there was a need to step away from the traditional methods of agriculture such as relying on rain fed crops because of the unpredictable forces of nature which make it close to impossible to grow satisfactory crops.
“We are now bringing forward technology to break the insular and vanguard ways of production,” he said.
For his part Research Scientist at NARDI, Mr Ofentse Sithole, said the product is designed to deliver nutrients more efficiently at the molecular level, ensuring that crops absorb a greater percentage of the fertiliser applied.
Mr Sithole said Nano fertilisers contain highly concentrated nutrients engineered into tiny particles that plants can take up more easily, reducing wastage and improving soil health.
He added that the technology supports sustainable farming by minimising the environmental impact often caused by over-application of conventional fertilisers.
He urged Batswana farmers to embrace organic and Nano-based fertilisers, saying they guarantee higher-quality produce, improved yields and better long-term soil fertility.
He emphasised that the shift to modern, environmentally friendly inputs was essential for the country to improve food security and compete in regional agricultural markets.ENDS
