Shahdol, Sep 18
Amid allegations about fertiliser shortage, discrepancies in distribution and black marketing from various parts in Madhya Pradesh, a fresh controversy has emerged over nano fertilisers.
The Congress, on Thursday, alleged that farmers are being forced to purchase nano fertiliser along with packet of solid DAP (Di-Ammonium Phosphate) and urea fertilisers, and farmers who refused to buy nano fertiliser would be denied solid DAP and urea at government-run distribution centres.
Nano -- a liquid form of fertiliser, which is an alternative of solid or traditional form of DAP and urea -- costs around Rs 500 to 600 per bottle.
