Description |
The proposed technology of the use of metal nanoparticles as micronutrients for sustainable agricultural production in the transformed environment allows optimizing by in an environmentally friendly way the function of biogenic metals through the use of physical and chemical properties of colloidal solutions of nanoparticles for the realization of the productive potential of plants (grain yield increased by 10-15 %). Technology is economically viable because the doses of colloidal solutions of nanoscale metal particles constitute for pre-sowing treatment of 0.2 l / t, as foliar application of 1-2 liters per 1 ha, which is much lower application rates of known micronutrients. It is recommended to add the colloidal solution in a mixture with chemical treaters. In this case, the colloidal solution adds to a treater chemical solution whose norm is 100-300 liters per 1 ha. The cost of a liter of the colloidal solutions of metal nanoparticles is about 0.5 EURO. Usually the overall cost of processing 1 hectare chemicals (fertilizers, treaters, etc.) is 100 to 500 EURO. Thus, the addition of colloidal solutions increases the cost of tillage only at 0.1-0.5%, wherein cereal yields increases by 10-15%.With an average application rate of the nutrient solution is 1 l/ha on fields which grain crops occupy in Ukraine (about 15.56 million hectares), the expected profit could be about one 100 million EURO during the growing season. |

Advantages and Innovations |
The main advantage of the technology of use of metal nanoparticles as micronutrients is a high social impact and economic feasibility, speed of obtaining results, ease of use, environmental safety because the concentration of components was taken into account to minimize the impact on the ecosystem and corrosive properties absent. |
