The global market for nanotechnology-based products, including agri input products,
is expected to reach $125 billion in 2024. It is now well established that the future
sustainable growth of agriculture would depend on innovative nano-interventions.
The TERI-Deakin Nanobiotechnology Centre (TDNBC) is devoted for developing innovative
nanonutrients products to address current challenges in the field of agriculture
and the environment. During the past few years, TDNBC’s acquired expertise in the
biological production technology of zinc-iron, phosphorous and zinc-iron-phosphorous
with mesoporous nanocarrier nanonutrients. The eco-friendly scale-up production
process of Zn-Fe nanofertilizers, Nano Phosphorus and zinc-iron-phosphorous with
mesoporous nanocarrier have been achieved successfully, high use efficiency of
nanofertilizer variants have been tested and validated through the specific field trails.
