Nano Urea Plus Research Findings
Foliar delivery bypasses 40-70% conventional fertilizer losses
Scientific Mechanism
Nanoparticle Composition
20-50nm crystalline urea nanoparticles stabilized with organic polymers. Particle size confirmed via TEM analysis. [Tuga et al. 2023]
Absorption Pathway
Direct entry through leaf stomata (10-20 micron openings). Nanoparticles dissolve in cytoplasm, releasing nitrogen ions directly into plant metabolism.
Efficiency Mechanism
Bypasses soil application losses: no volatilization (25-40% loss), no leaching (10-30% loss), no denitrification (5-15% loss). Foliar delivery avoids these soil-based losses entirely.
How Nano Urea Plus Works
Independent research shows nano fertilizers work best when combined with a reduced base of conventional fertilizer during critical growth stages.
Foliar application delivers nitrogen directly to leaves, avoiding the 40-70% losses that occur with soil-applied conventional fertilizers.
Works when soil moisture is limited. Foliar delivery doesn't require soil moisture for nutrient uptake like conventional fertilizers.
Used globally on wheat, rice, canola, cotton, and other major crops. Tested across 40+ countries with 365M+ bottles sold.
Why Farmers Choose Nano Urea Plus
Reduced Input Costs
Compact liquid format reduces freight, storage, and handling costs compared to bulk granular fertilizers.
Environmental Benefits
Foliar delivery bypasses soil, reducing nitrogen losses to leaching and volatilization that contribute to environmental pollution.
Flexible Application
Works in drought conditions when soil-applied fertilizers are less effective. Apply during critical growth stages.

Nano DAP Research Findings
Phosphorus bioavailability through foliar delivery - addresses alkaline soil fixation
Scientific Mechanism
The Phosphorus Problem
In alkaline soils (pH 7.5+, common in Australia), phosphorus forms insoluble calcium phosphates. Only 15-25% of applied conventional DAP becomes plant-available.
Nano DAP Solution
Foliar application bypasses soil entirely. 20-50nm phosphorus nanoparticles enter leaves directly, avoiding 70-85% soil fixation losses.
Australian Soil Relevance
Most Australian cropping soils have pH 7.0-9.0 (alkaline). Nano DAP eliminates the phosphorus fixation problem entirely - critical advantage for Australian farmers.
How Nano DAP Works
Independent research shows nano DAP works best when combined with a reduced base of conventional DAP (around 75% of normal application).
Foliar application delivers phosphorus directly to leaves, avoiding the 70-85% fixation losses that occur in alkaline soils.
Works when soil is dry and conventional DAP cannot dissolve. Foliar delivery is independent of soil moisture conditions.
Used globally on wheat, barley, canola, pulses, cotton, and other phosphorus-demanding crops across 40+ countries.
Why Farmers Choose Nano DAP
Solves Alkaline Soil Problem
Most Australian soils are alkaline (pH 7.5+), which locks up 70-85% of conventional DAP. Foliar delivery bypasses this entirely.
Reduced Waste
Conventional soil-applied phosphorus is largely wasted in alkaline conditions. Nano DAP delivers nutrients where they're needed.
Proven Globally
Used across 40+ countries on various crops. Part of the 365M+ nano fertilizer bottles sold worldwide.

Why Nano DAP is CRITICAL for Australian Soils
Conventional DAP Problem
- ✗Applied to alkaline soil (pH 7.5-9.0)
- ✗Immediately reacts with calcium ions
- ✗Forms insoluble calcium phosphate precipitate
- ✗Only 15-25% reaches plants
- ✗75-85% wasted, locked in soil permanently
Nano DAP Solution
- ✓Applied to leaves, bypasses soil entirely
- ✓Enters through stomata in hours
- ✓No interaction with soil chemistry
- ✓Direct absorption to plant tissues
- ✓Bypasses 70-85% soil fixation losses
Australian Agricultural Context & Field Trials
Research findings validated in Australian soil and climate conditions
Alkaline Soils (pH 7.5-9.0)
Many Australian cropping soils are alkaline, locking up phosphorus. Foliar delivery bypasses soil fixation entirely.
Drought & Low Rainfall
Annual rainfall 300-600mm in wheat belt. Foliar application works when soil moisture is too low for conventional fertilizer uptake.
Major Crop Alignment
Wheat, barley, canola, chickpeas, cotton - identical to crops in successful global trials. Research directly transferable.

100%
Australia imports all its urea and DAP. Nano fertilizers can help supplement conventional programs with more efficient delivery.
Environmental Benefit
Reduced
Foliar delivery bypasses soil where nitrogen losses and N2O emissions occur. Supports sustainability goals.
Drought Resilience
Improved
Works when soil moisture is limited. Foliar application independent of soil conditions.

Research-Backed Path to Australia's 2035 Emissions Target
Current Fertilizer Emissions
- •Agriculture: 16% of Australia's total emissions
- •Synthetic fertilizers: ~25 MtCO2-e annually
- •Nitrous oxide (N2O) from conventional urea: 298x more potent than CO2
Source: DCCEEW National Inventory Report 2023
Nano Fertilizer Emissions Reduction
- ✓Reduced N2O emissions - foliar delivery bypasses soil where most emissions occur
- ✓Reduced leaching losses - nutrients applied directly to leaves
- ✓Potential contribution to 2035 target through reduced fertilizer losses
Foliar delivery mechanism supports emissions reduction goals

The Science Behind Nano Fertilizers
Particle Size Matters
Nano particles are 20-50 nanometers in size - about 1/10,000th the width of a human hair. This ultra-small size is the key to their effectiveness.
At this scale, particles can pass directly through leaf stomata (pores 10-20 microns wide) and cell walls, delivering nutrients exactly where plants need them - directly into chloroplasts and cytoplasm.
Step 1: Application
Spray nano fertilizer solution on leaves during early morning or evening when stomata are open
Step 2: Absorption
Nano particles enter through stomata within 2-6 hours and are absorbed into plant cells
Step 3: Utilization
Nutrients dissolve in cytoplasm and are immediately available for plant metabolism - no waiting for soil breakdown
Research-Validated Mechanism
- •TEM imaging (IIT Delhi 2022) confirms 20-50nm particle size
- •Isotope tracing studies confirm rapid absorption of nano particles through leaf stomata
- •Confocal microscopy visualizes nanoparticle uptake through stomatal pathway
- •Chlorophyll fluorescence measurements confirm enhanced photosynthetic efficiency within 48 hours
