Option 1 : The Fertilizer (Control) Order 1985.

The correct answer is The Fertilizer (Control) Order 1985.

  • Indian Farmers Fertilizer Cooperative Ltd (IFFCO) had earlier last year introduced the world's first IFFCO Nano Urea (Liquid) & which is included in Fertilizer Control Order (FCO, 1985).
  • The Fertilizer (Control) Order came into force in 1957 to regulate the sale, the price, and the quality of fertilizers. Since then and till 1985, nearly seventy amendments were made to the Order. This led to the overall review of the various provisions of the Order and in supersession of the 1957 order a comprehensive revised Order was issued with effect from September 25, 1985, known as The Fertilizer (Control) Order 1985.

  • The publication FCO, 1985 also includes The Fertilizer (Movement Control) Order, 1973 and The Essential Commodities Act, 1955 (Act No.10 of 1955), incorporating up-to-date amendments as these are relevant to FCO, 1985.

  • IFFCO Nano Urea is the only Nano fertilizer approved by the Government of India and included in the Fertilizer Control Order (FCO). It is developed and Patented by IFFCO. Application of 1 bottle of Nano Urea can effectively replace at least 1 bag of Urea.
