We developed a new nanoencapsulation technology to lower the required dose of agrochemicals, while we reduce pollution and improve grain yields. The use of nanotechnologies helps to improve the effectiveness of products, but their high costs and low stability are limiting factors. For this reason, we provide farmers a “nanotizer” and empty capsules, for them to nanoencapsulate their pesticides and reach the best efficiency this technology can offer. In this way, the earnings are higher and the costs are lower, using less agrochemicals, which has a positive impact on the environment.
Our technology maximices the effect of pesticides, even at lower dose that the recommended. The nanoencapsulated particle penetrates the cell walls and tissues in a better way than the traditional ones. This is possible due to its nano size and the structure’s personalization.
Nanoencapsulated agrochemicals are efficient at a lower dose and therefore, this technology reduces costs as the required amount of product is lower. For example, a nanoencapsulated premium fungicide can achieve up to a 10 USD saving per hectare.
Only a small amount of the crop applied agrochemicals is absorbed and used by plants. The large portion remaining reaches soil and contaminates the environment. We are focused on improving the agrochemicals absorption efficiency and reducing the use of pesticides to lower the negative impact.

We achieved a significant improvement in post-emergent herbicide activity with pesticide nanoencapsulation. The active principle effectivity is better than the traditional product which has no nanoencapsulation applied to it.
We proved that the nanotized graminicides have a higher weeds inhibition activity even at low doses, when compared to traditional versions.
We reduced up to a 1000 times the commercial dose of Zinc oxide for seed coating with our nanoencapsulation tech. This compound is a common microfertilizer used to promote growth in rice and corn.
In field trials we reduced fungicide dose up to 50% in soybean and peanut crops and lemons plantation. We nanoencapsulated several products of different brands and compared them to their 100% dose effectiveness.
Nanotized fungicides dose was reduced to a half achieving the same effectiveness as the traditional products.
In Tucumán we worked on lemon plantations and we assessed nanoZinc oxide effectiveness combined with copper oxide on which is a widely used product for citric diseases control.
