Project summary
Plant nanotechnology deals with the potential application and the impact of nanomaterials in plants. Due to their ability to improve plant growth and yield, antimicrobial activities etc., incorporation of nanomaterials into agrochemicals (pesticides, fungicides, herbicides, fertilizers, etc.) is also expected to have great potential in nanotechnology-driven smart agriculture. On the other hand, plants, being sessile and closely associated with the two major environmental sinks of nanomaterial accumulation namely water and soil and that they will be exposed to them by the application of agrochemicals containing nanomaterials such as pesticides, fungicides, herbicides, fertilizers etc., plants are at the most risk posed by the environmental presence of these new materials.
Our achievements
PUBLICATIONS IN RENOWNED SCIENTIFIC JOURNALS
The NANOPLANT project has generated significant scientific output, focusing on the application of nanotechnology in plant science. Its research team works on eco-friendly nano-formulations for agriculture, with several publications detailing innovations in renowned journals.
CONFERENCE ON PLANT NANOTECHNOLOGY
The international conference organized in October 2024 was devoted to recent advances in the intersection of nanotechnology and plant sciences. The event gathered world-renowned scientists working in cutting-edge areas who came to Poznań, Poland from five continents to share their knowledge.
SCIENCE MEETS INDUSTRY. COOPERATION WITH BUSINESS
In May 2024, we established a Polish-Indian cooperation, which aimed to transform our scientific work into market solutions in the MSU Research Park. We also cooperate with innovative producers from Poland that specialize in the production of plant growth stimulants and plant fertilizers.
