Nanomaterials including nano chitosan solubility is a common problem. It could be dissolved in 1% acetic acid, however, is this suitable to treat plants with ?
Dear Hend Ahmed Hamed, usually this kind of use of biopolymers is concerned by the chemically modified chitosan and not the 'crude' one. Please have a look at the following free access documents. My Regards
Yes, we have synthesized nano chitosan and 1% acetic acid is really needed just to dissolve. However, we diluted the synthesized chitosan and mixed with biofertilizers.
Nan-chitosan is a kind of elicitor generally they induces defense responses in treated plant. However, we can dilute the synthesized chitosan and mixed with fungicides or bio fertilizer.
