The Green Science Alliance has developed a fluorescent nanofertilizer using quantum dots to successfully grow fluorescent plants in the form of Japanese mustard spinach.
The particle size is what makes all the difference in this new type of fertilizer, which is in the nanometer range. It is said that Moreover, nanofertilizers are absorbed not only by the soil but also by the leaves of plants.
As the global food crisis worsens and fertilizer prices rise, this new type of fertilizer stands apart from commercial fertilizers that are shed from the soil by rain before being absorbed.
