The correct option is C Both 1 and 2

Explanation:

The benefits of Neem coated Urea(NCU) are:

  1. Neem has proven nitrification inhibition properties. This way it slows down the process of nitrogen release from urea (by about 10 to 15 percent). Nitrogen Use Efficiency (NUE) of Neem Coated Urea increases resulting in reduced consumption of NCU as compared to normal urea. Thus it reduces the consumption of the fertilizer
  2. Enhance the yield of paddy, sugarcane, maize, soybean, Tur/Red Gram
  3. Decrease the urea requirement. Hence, save Money.
  4. Improvement in soil health
  5. Reduction in usage of plant protection chemicals
  6. Reduction in pest and disease attack
  7. Negligible diversion towards non-agricultural purposes.
