Dr.Theivasanthi Released Innovative Agricultural Nano-biofertilizer Analyses

LONDON - Dec. 29, 2018 - PRLog -- World Record holder in Nanotechnology and International Top Reviewer Award Winner Dr. T. Theivasanthi of International Research Center, Kalasalingam University (India) has studied about the Nano-biofertilizers. She has released new analyses and insights on this matter in an article- Advances and Trends in Nano-biofertilizers (https://papers.ssrn.com/abstract=3306998). According to Dr. Theivasanthi, "At present, literatures have no obvious definition and explanation about the nano-biofertilizers. This work has made an attempt to explain the derivation / definition of the nano-biofertilizers. It suggests techniques to make nano-biofertilizers without nano-toxicity. Such fertilizers will dominate the modern agriculture in the coming era. Releasing the new thoughts which are beneficial to society, particularly during the 2019 new-year festive occasion made her happier. It is a remarkable benchmark in her research and makes her scientific contribution as world-class. It is her pride."

Dr. Theivasanthi said that nano-biofertilizers are the nano-sized biomaterials. They are prepared for biological (agriculture) uses to supply nutrients. They act like bio-fertilizer and fulfil the requirements of primary macronutrients. Emerging technology and agro-chemicals like agri-nanotechnology and nano-biofertilizers will dominate the agriculture modernization. She has arrived for this conclusion about the nano-biofertilizers after seven years of research.

Further, she said that the unique properties of nanomaterials can be seen only in between the nano-size range i.e. 1 – 100 nm. Sometimes, the unique properties may lead to untoward reactions or consequences, nano-toxicity, complications, toxic consequences and adverse impact. In such cases, to overcome such unwanted properties, sub-micron sized materials (above 100 nm size) can be utilized as alternative to nanomaterials. Sub-micron sized materials can be applied in plants or agriculture applications (as pesticides, biofertilizers and fertilizers materials) like other conventional materials without any hesitations. They have high surface area close to the nanomaterials which improve the activities of the agro-chemicals.

Sub-micron sized materials are already used in the construction related applications. As per the EU commission suggestion, the nanoparticles proportion of the nanomaterials can be minimized depending on the requirements of environment, health, safety or competitiveness. Nano sized hybrid fertilizer (nano sized inorganic salt and nano sized organic matters) will give better crop yields with balanced nutrients. Such yields will also support for the good health of humans and animals. A lower proportion mixing of nano sized hybrid combination in the conventional fertilizers will reduce or avoid the untoward effects of nanomaterials.

She remembered that recently, Bangladesh government has approved- The National Agriculture Policy 2018 to incorporate and utilize nanotechnology in agricultural sector to boost the production. "Every scientific research must contribute some benefits to the society. Basis on this concept, she is doing nano biofertilizers research for the benefit of the society" she added.
