  • Bangladesh Agricultural University (Lead)
  • Experiment 1: Synthesis and characterization of carbon nanocomposite fertilizer Experiment 2. Nutrient release test (in vitro incubation and pot study) Experiment 3. Effect of nano urea fertilizer on nitrogen use efficiency and yield performance of Rice (pot experiment) Experiment 4. Effect of nano urea fertilizer on nitrogen use efficiency and yield performance of rice (field experiment)

    Still we are trying to develop carbon enrich nano urea. We already have synthesis nano urea. We are trying to develop nano biochar and later we will encapsule nano urea with nano biochar.

    Our partner organization is not capable of developing nano carbon urea or nano urea. Therefore, we are trying to develop with the help of BAEC and BUET.
