Using a Colloidal Solution of Metal Nanoparticles as Micronutrient Fertiliser for Cereals

Abstract

We have developed the technology of using the colloidal solution of metal nanoparticles as fertilizers, which characterized by easiness to use, environmental safety and absence of corrosive properties. Colloidal solutions of biogenic metals, water-based, such as Fe, Mn, Zn, Mo, Co, Cu, and Ag, produced by a patented method of bittern natural colloidal solutions of the above metals were used. Seed treatment with colloidal solution of metal nanoparticles stored genetic purity grade, increased plant immune status via regulation of oxidative metabolism, photosynthetic activity, resistance to pathogens, and optimization of water regime of various winter wheat ecotypes during ontogenesis. Results of industrial tests proved that it is environ-mentally safe and economically feasible, since the cost of one liter of colloidal solutions of nanoparticles of metals ranges from 50-70 USD providing 500% level profitability. So, for the first time managed to opti-mize the function of biogenic metals through the use of physical and chemical characteristics of colloidal nanoparticle solutions to realize the productive potential of plants.
