Nano.T® technology main concepts
(for fertigation and foliar applications)
Size Comparison:
from nano to macro
Nano.T® technology main concepts:
Nanomaterials are considered as such when at least one of their dimensions is between 1-100 nm.
Nanomaterials exhibit physical, chemical and biological properties different from traditional sized materials.
The reasons for the unusual properties of nanomaterials can be attributed to phenomena that can alter the mechanical, optical, electrical, magnetic, and chemical catalysis properties of nanoscale materials compared to their traditional counterparts. Thus, nanomaterials exhibit properties that depend on their size, be it grain or particle size, pore size, or other morphological features.
Nano-fertilizers are characterized by:
1. High efficiency
Nanoparticles have an elevated contact surface, which easens dissolution and absorption by the plant, allowing a reduced dosage of use;
2. Stability in the formulation
The patented production process allows to obtain a stable colloidal suspension over time, avoiding precipitation or aggregation;
3. Long-lasting action
Products obtained through the NANO.T process can be employed in the most difficult environmental conditions without altering their characteristics;
4. Low environmental impact
Nano-fertilizers do not leach on the soil and have the ability to adhere to the leaf without dispersing in the environment and requiring a limited number of applications;
5. Innovative patented technology
The NANO.T technology is an innovation born from a collaboration between the R&D department of FCP Cerea and the department of Biotechnology of the University of Verona.
