Technology: NanoCarbon 480<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/h2>\n

Solution<\/span><\/h2>\n

A foliar application technology that stimulates photosynthesis and accelerates plant growth, leading to a significant increase in biomass production.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is the technological basis of this solution?<\/span><\/h2>\n

The technology is based on carbon nanomaterials derived from renewable sources\u2014specifically organic waste generated as by-products from different production chains. Raw materials already used include swine manure, vinasse from ethanol production, residues from the gelatin industry (bovine leather collagen), treated domestic sewage, and even wastewater from pesticide washing.<\/span><\/p>\n

The carbon nanoparticles in NanoCarbono 480 have unique optical properties. When applied to leaves, they act as light mediators: absorbing ultraviolet radiation and converting it into blue light, which plants use efficiently during photosynthesis.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is innovative about it?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Unlike conventional plant growth stimulants that act at intermediate stages of plant metabolism, this nanotechnology targets the foundation of plant life: photosynthesis itself. By converting UV light\u2014which plants normally cannot use\u2014into blue light, the nanoparticles increase photosynthetic efficiency and, as a result, accelerate plant growth.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis nanotechnology stimulates photosynthesis, which is the basis of plant life. It does not act on intermediate metabolic phases, but directly at the very start of the process.\u201d \u2014 Prof. Ailton Terezo<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Who could benefit from this solution?<\/span><\/h2>\n

With applications in both grain production and the recovery of degraded pasturelands, NanoCarbono 480 offers new pathways to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of agribusiness. The technology has potential use in agriculture and livestock production, particularly for pasture-based animal nutrition\u2014the most widely adopted practice in Brazil.<\/span><\/p>\n

The solution has been tested in greenhouse conditions with strategic crops such as soybean, cotton, and brachiaria grass. In Brachiaria, the increase in dry mass translates into greater forage availability: areas currently supporting 2 head of cattle per hectare could sustain up to 3.<\/span><\/p>\n

These results make the solution attractive for:<\/span><\/p>\n
