The technology was developed by researchers at the University of Brasilia in partnership with Embrapa, which is validating the results
Researchers from the Institute of Chemistry at the University of Brasilia (UnB)in partnership with Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa)developed a nanoparticle that promises to improve the performance of fertilizers and pesticides.
The project coordinator and post-doctorate in chemistry, Marcelo Oliveira Rodrigues, says that Krill A32, as it was named, is different from everything that currently exists in this market. "I can aggregate micro and macronutrients within the same matrix, it is water soluble and has neutral pH, which is something quite differentiated and makes a difference in the plant. This is only possible with nanotechnology", he says.
