We are synthesizing nano-particles of plant nutrients for agricultural use . The nano-particles are produced using microbial protein to break the respective chemical salts into nano-form. During commercialization of the nano-fertilizers produced through biosynthesis, the question comes whether it is designated as organic or chemical fertilizers or plant growth regulators. So, that accordingly permission may be sort from the appropriate control bodies.
I suppose that your project belongs to chemical fertilizers or plant growth regulators
Why not organic? Because every particle are surrounded by microbial protein as noticed in the TEM image. Moreover, it can not be chemical as outer layer is microbial protein.
The nano inorganic fertilizers used are foliar fertilizers that come from natural minerals and without chemical additives. This product was developed to accelerate the photosynthetic process of plants which allows increased plant growth. Nano-fertilizers are more soluble, reactive, and they can increase penetration through the cuticle that allows for targeted delivery and controlled release. Crop growth, yield, quality, and nutrient use efficiency are all improved by nano-fertilizers, which reduce abiotic stress and heavy metal toxicity. Nanofertilizer refers to a product that delivers nutrients to crops in one of three ways. The nutrient can be encapsulated inside nanomaterials such as nanotubes or nanoporous materials, coated with a thin protective polymer film, or delivered as particles or emulsions of nanoscale dimensions. The product uses “organic polymers” that keep nanoparticles of nitrogen stable and in a form that can be sprayed onto plants.
