Nano urea's environmental edge and economic efficacy in boosting wheat grain yield across diverse Indian agro-climates.

ABSTRACT: The gradual increase in the consumption of mineral nitrogen is leading to heightened levels of harmful air pollutants, particularly N₂O emissions from the agriculture sector. A potential solution to address the issues arising from the excessive use of urea in wheat is the substitution of conventional urea with nano urea. This study aimed to quantify the effects of nano urea, both independently and in conjunction with prilled urea, under various agroclimatic and sowing conditions in India. To achieve this objective, a multi-location field experiment on nano and prilled urea was conducted under irrigated conditions across 21 locations with 13 different treatments during the agricultural seasons of 2021-2022 and 2022-2023. The experiments followed a randomized block design with thr
