  • Nanoparticle fertilizer
    Patent number: 11021408
    Abstract: A nanoparticulate fertilizer is provided. The fertilizer may comprise water soluble nanoparticles having a contact area to total surface area ratio greater than 1:4. The nanoparticles may have an overall positive surface charge in water. The fertilizer may be suitable for application as a seed coat. Also provided is a method of applying a seed coat, and a method of fertilizing a plant.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 16, 2018
    Date of Patent: June 1, 2021
    Assignee: The University of Queensland
    Inventors: Longbin Huang, Anh Van Nguyen, Victor Rudolph, Gordon Xu

  • Foliar fertilizer
    Patent number: 10118866
    Abstract: Nanocrystalline compounds containing essential nutrients have been synthesized to have effective physical and chemical characteristics, including a high contact surface area/total surface area ratio that provides maximal leaf surface contact, limited mobility and improved solubility, a net positive charge, soluble salt-forming groups, and reactive surface edges for cation exchange to release nutrient cationic ions into the water film on leaf surfaces.
