Complete Details of Technology:	:
Ginger is a long duration rhizomatous crops, with a crop period of 6-8 months, removes N up to a level of 250-350 kg/ha from soil based on their yield levels. Supply of N during the critical growth phases (tillering and maximum vegetative phase, rhizome formation and bulking) spread over 3-4 months is required for its proper growth and development. Using foliar N fertilization, we can decrease the amount of total N required and minimize runoff. Nano formulation of Urea is supposed to increase the N availability to crop by more than 80% resulting in higher Nutrient Use efficiency so as to reduce the application of conventional urea.
Brief Description of Technology Including Salient Features:
Foliar application of nano urea @ 0.4 % (two sprays at the active growth period of the ginger crop, 90 & 120 DAP) along with 50% of the RDF N as soil application is recommended for higher N use efficiency and rhizome yield.
Benefits/Utility	:
The fresh ginger rhizome yield increased significantly in 0.4% nano urea foliar supplemented treatment with 50% soil applied N. The yield increase was 62% in fresh rhizome yield over RDF (100% soil N) @ 0.4% nano urea supplementation.
Impact, If Adopted	:
Nano urea foliar sprays showed significantly higher uptake of N, P and K by the crop as compared to soil N application alone owing to their higher rhizome yield. The Nano urea foliar applied treatments showed lesser positive soil N balance as compared to soil N application alone and it was very low in 0.4% nano urea spray treatment (25.8 kg/ha), indicating very effective utilization of soil applied N.
Social Impact	:
Increased farmers income to the tune of 0.8 to 1.4 lakhs per ha.
