A research team at Utah State University has developed a nanotech fertilizer that's more efficient than traditional fertilizer.
Yiming Su, an assistant professor in USU's Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, led the study.
Su said nanotech fertilizer efficiency varies by crop or plant, but many of their plants have needed 30% less of the nanotech fertilizer than traditional fertilizer. Some of their plants, though, have needed only half as much nanotech fertilizer, and some have used 75% less nanotech fertilizer than traditional fertilizer, he said.
It's not yet ready for widespread use. However, there is strong evidence that "the innovation of nano-enabled agrochemicals represents a significant step forward in the pursuit of sustainable agriculture and food production," according to the research.
