Partnership between UNB and Embrapa results in fertilizer and biological stimulant that uses carbon, nitrogen and hydrogen as raw material. Through nanotechnology, Arbolina (also known as Krill A32), has chemical characteristics that enable a more efficient absorption by the leaves and activates essential metabolic routes.
According to Juscimar Silva (Embrapa researcher): "The main benefits are: increased photosynthesis due to a better use of light, more efficient activation of enzymes that supply energy to the plant, greater root development, greater use of water and nutrients". This is because the solution offers macro and micronutrients necessary for plant growth, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, iron, and zinc, for example.
